My system is Rawhide, the development branch of Fedora. What I have installed, and use daily, is scheduled for release as Fedora 8 on November 8, 2007 and then on to what will be Fedora 9. What I described to you yum update I do everyday. It is not uncommon to get 4 or 5 kernels a week every week and each new kernel gets a new kernel-headers package. All done as I described to you. The kernel-headers packages contain the C header files used to compile source code. If you are not going to be doing that you do not need it. Good luck. -- David
