I have downloaded the rpm "kernel-2.6.4-1.257.i686.rpm"(from
people.redhat.com/arjanv/).Now I hear I have to make some directory changes
and some aliases to get it working.Any one furnish me with details on this
new version.I got installation instructions upto version 2.6.0 from the
www.fedoranews.org but nothing for the later releases anywhere in the net.
