As of today I recomend against updating the kernel, I have done this
and run in to some problems. Yesterday it just swithed to runlevel 0
every time I tried to start it. Claiming that the temperature in my
laptop was over 5000 C and after some reboots all worked again (And my
laptop isn't a pile of melted plastic). Not sure what happened. And
the next problem I'm facing is that I can't seem to compile any
drivers for it. And this have worked before like a charm. Not sure but
perhaps this is 'coz kernel-headers, kernel-source and kernel-syms is
different versions. But these kind of troubles is why I love using
none-released pre versions of Linux. Ahhh my weekly doses of breakage.
:-) Bring it on!
Warm Regards,
Claes Backstrom
PS. The drivers I can't compile is simply that I try to rebuild the
madwifi source rpm from factory. DS.

Hi everybody,
As I have the ftp factory tree in my installation sources, of course My OS is constantly trying to update around 1000 packages. So far no problem at att :-) (except my low bandwidth.. but that's another story).
Just one question: Does somebody know when the kernel upgrade to 2.6.20 might be possible? So far, the kernel (in rc4) is there, but an update is not possible es for example the wlan-kmp is missing (and yes, I'm on a wireless connection). But still, I would like to test on the new kernel, as some features of my notebook (Flash Media) should finally be supported :-)
Or is there something I can contribute in this case?
