Oh yes, one more thing.
Shortly after installing Fedora, the automatic update system let me upgrade
the Kernel from 2.5.* to 2.6.*. Now, when I boot, it gives me a choice on
which to boot with, but it always defaults to the old one. How can I change
which Kernel is default.
Additionally, can I simply remove the older one?
I'm certain these are extremely basic questions, but I'm a poor slovenly
newbie.
Thanks! :-)

Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and set the line "default=" to the kernel you want
to be the default. Usually, the RPM process puts the newest at the top, so it
would be "default=0".
Once you know it's working, get a list of installed kernels with
rpm -qa |grep kernel
Then, delete the ones you want to remove with
rpm -e kernel-xxx.yyy.zzz
Make sure you don't remove the last one!
