If I am on the alpha program, why am I on 3.7x rather than 3.8x?

Not sure what you mean by the "alpha program" but if you expect to be on F19 Alpha (note the *19*) then look again at the output of the command you gave. It says F18 (note the *18*). So that box is running F18 and not F19 alpha. And that is also the reason why it has kernel 3.7.x and not kernel 3.8.x. Or did I miss something?
Patrick,
Richard claims to have "fedup"ped to F19. The kernel remains F18 and an old F18 kernel at that (I've got several F17 boxes with 3.8.4-102.fc17.x86_64 kernels). My suspicion was that a yum config is blocking a kernel update.
Richard, can you check the output of "cat /etc/issue" and verify that your machine really thinks it's F19? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Hard work has a future payoff.
