latest stable kernel for FC3?
shultzjr
I just installed FC3 and I would like to upgrade to
the latest stable kernel. Is this possible with
one command in YUM? if so, how?
Second will this kernel be stable in burning sound
cd's?
thanks,
charles......

Hi Alexander,
This is shultzjr, just on another machine.
I tried to do a "yum update kernel" and I got
the following error:
primary.xml.gz ----snipped
primary.xml.gz ----
primary.xml.gz ----
primary.xml.gz ----
Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from extras: [Errno 256] No more
mirrors to try.
Any other updatte commands to try?
thanks,
tim......

Because you fail to use yum properly you want to have a third updater tool?
Correct your yum repository entry for the Fedora Extras.

I went to a site suggested in fedorafaq and downloaded a
"newer" version of yum.conf that was supposed to be better.
After that I ran the yum update command and that is when
I got the error. I am a beginner at linux and I wouldn't be
asking these questions if I could fix it myself. At the very
least I need a hint. It does me no good for someone to just
say "fix your problem". Why for example is the process
going to an Extras site when I am just doing a kernel update?
I was a beginner once in Windows and now I am not. Some
day I will not be a beginner in linux but today I am.
charles.... back on my original machine.

Please don't change your name each time you post a new article.
Remove the yum.conf you got from fedorafaq.org and use the yum.conf and
/etc/yum.repos.d/ repo files. That simply works for the Core packages
including the Core updates like the kernel.

I will change the file back to the original (kept a backup) and thanks
for the help.
This box is my old W98SE machine. The new one is getting FC3
on it.
charles...... I'll be me consistantly in the future.
