If you have a strong reason to want to have the latest kernel (like stuff doesn't work on your machine you suspect might work on the latest stuff), and you don't mind some risk (eg, you can be the very first person to discover the latest kernel craps up your filesystem), you can do this yum --enablerepo development update kernel Right this second that would get me 2.6.21-1.3244.fc8, you can leap even further into the future by going here http://mirror.hiwaay.net/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os/Fedora/ where they have kernel-2.6.22-0.5.rc7.git2.fc8.i686.rpm Usually running development kernels on the current OS works out okay... but in the past there have been filesystem-trashers... don't blame me if it trashes your install. -Andy
