Hi! I am new to the list and Fedora. I have pgrade my Redhat 8 box to Redhat 9 and I am dissatisfied with the progress of the kerne.l (RH9 still uses 2.4.20 and the current is 2.4.24 as far as I can garner) I am downloading the Fedora .iso images to install as I have noticed it includes the 2.4.22 kernel. I would prefer the ease of use of Fedora (which includes a somewhat progressive program) over the cutting edge kernels of other distros. (like Gentoo or whatever where one can run a 2.6 kernel but it's difficult) Can I simply "upgrade" using the anaconda installer or would it be better to go for a completely new installation? Also how can I help out? I am a musician without coding skills really, but I am a professional music textbook editor so maybe I could help with documentation or something. Let me know. I am excited about the project!
Thanks! Matt

To boot with the first FC1 CD and choose upgrade is very easy and normally will make no problems.
The upgrading topic was discussed so often now in here. Please go to the list archive and gather the information you like!

P.S. Redhat/Fedora kernel are no vanilla kernels but heavily patched versions.

If you want to use a 2.6 kernel , just download the one available at the development tree... And you're ready to rock...
