Regarding Fedora18

[Prashant Upadhyaya]

Hi guys,

I downloaded Fedora18 earlier and the uname shows the following --

[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 11 18:01:27
UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

One of my customers downloaded Fedora18 recently and his uname -a showed
the following --

Linux localhost.localdomain 3.11.10-100.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 2
20:28:38 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Now where should my customer download the Fedora18 from so that when he
installs it, he sees the kernel version 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 #1

I need my lab setup exactly like the one my customer has.

Regards

-Prashant

Fedora 18 is no longer supported.  The best service you can provide to your
customer would be migrating them to a current version of Fedora.

Hi Pete,

Thanks, but is there no way to currently reconcile the environment for my
short term requirement ?

F18 was shipped with kernel-3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64.rpm.

You have 3.6.10-4 from 11-Dec-2012 (old), the original kernel, I
believe.

They have 3.11.10-100 from 2-Dec-2013 (newer), so they've updated, in
the meantime.

You want them to downgrade to an older kernel?  That's *usually* a bad
idea, unless you're trying to diagnose a fault with their current kernel
by trying an older one.

Depending on how many updates they've done, they may still have the
older kernel installed.  All they'd have to do is boot using the older
one.  Read the boot menu as you boot up, and choose a different kernel.
