Fedora current Kernel

[Neshama Parhoti]

Hello!

How can I tell what is the current kernel version of Fedora (5 and 6) ?

Of course without installing and running yum update kernel...

I want to know whether the newest kernel in those Fedora versions already
have KVM...

thank you

all current kernels have kvm (it got mergen upstream in 2.6.20) and 
fc5/6 uses 2.6.20.x while rawhide/f7 uses 2.6.21

here:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/SRPMS/
you will find a kernel srpm which is the lastest update for fc5
same for fc6:

Can I tell in advance how this kernel is configured ?
Can I see the .config file of it ?

I am referring to the kernel that comes when I do yum update kernel.

I want to  know in advance what are the features that are configured
inside the kernel, before I download it..

Thank You !!!!!

look at the cvs repo:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/kernel/
but make sure that you get the info for the version that is released. 
(not the work in progress one)

Try:

    yum list kernel\*

That should give you what's installed and what's available.
