I seem to recall quite a few kernel updates on FC4, I don't know how you missed them. This is from one of my FC4 boxes: [tim@giggles ~]$ rpm -qi kernel|grep nstall Install Date: Thu 25 May 2006 19:03:10 CST Build Host: hs20-bc1-5.build.redhat.com Install Date: Thu 29 Jun 2006 01:53:36 CST Build Host: hs20-bc1-5.build.redhat.com Install Date: Sat 29 Jul 2006 22:03:28 CST Build Host: hs20-bc1-4.build.redhat.com I don't recall all of them, but above are the ones still on one of my boxes. I'm sure I manually removed a few over time. Yes, there's been a few new kernels with the current release, I don't think it's been much different from prior releases. -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
