I'd guess that by the time F32 comes out, you'd need to downgrade, not upgrade the kernel to that version.
Ow!!! Come-on Joe :) The op meant to type f22 :)

I think you mean F23. The latest released kernel for F23 is 4.3.5-300. If you want to run 4.4.2, you'll need to enable the rawhide repo and install it from there. Don't ask anyone here for help if you do. You'd be running a weird, hybrid system and I doubt anyone here would be able to help you. You'd have to ask any kernel-related questions on the fedora-test list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - I'm telling you that the kernel is stable not because it's a - - kernel, but because I refuse to listen to arguments like this. - - -- Linus Torvalds - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that rawhide is now on a 4.5rc6 rather than any 4.4 kernel ...
yes I meant f23

Go to http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 and get the rawhide binary packages for the kernel you want to run. Make sure the one you choose hasn't got debugging enabled. Then install the local rpms you have downloaded by using dnf -C ./[package path]. You can usually get away with just the name if you run the command from the same directory where the binary rpms are.
Or, download the src.rpm for the kernel you want, and build a package for your version of Fedora. This is the better way to go, but a lot more work. Here are the instructions: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel
I recall being told on this list that running make defconfig before building the kernel limits the configuration to the current hardware. Or maybe it was make localmodconfig. I thought I saved the email but I can't find it. The regular Fedora kernel uses a config that will work for almost everyone it will encounter, so it will compile a lot of stuff you don't need.
If you have an nvidia graphics card, and use the binary blob, getting it for development kernels for older versions of fedora can be problematic. You will probably have to take care of it yourself from the nvidia website, since F23 won't have a kmod or akmod for that kernel at rpmfusion.
It should be available in koji in the next 12-24 hours. There was a message yesterday on devel@ that f23 is rebasing to the 4.4 series. It might be a week before it hits the updates repo, depending on testing and karma.
