That is not a distribution kernel - it is a vanilla kernel, as produced by Linus Torvalds and his team. You can only use yum to install a distribution kernel, like 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 (the latest Fedora kernel, I think). If you run "yum update" you will get the latest kernel, and the latest versions of all other software too. Personally, I wouldn't try to make an rpm file of the kernel. It's certainly possible - you would have to make a SPEC file, and run rpmbuild - but I wouldn't have thought it would be very useful to you. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
