So, ever so slightly expanding on a prior two-step process: 1. Download the kernel RPM. 2. Install the kernel (as it said before, rpm -i name-of-file.rpm). 3. Reboot and use the new kernel. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.

You should also note that (on my system): $ rpm -q --whatrequires kernel initscripts-8.11.1-1 lvm2-2.01.08-2.1 hal-0.5.2-2 hal-0.5.2-2 prelink-0.3.4-3 pcmcia-cs-3.2.8-4.12 quota-3.12-6 rp-pppoe-3.5-27 gnome-volume-manager-1.3.1-1 libpcap-0.8.3-13.FC4 nfs-utils-1.0.7-11 (i.e. these packages require at least one kernel RPM installed). The Fedora kernels you have installed can be identified with $ rpm -q kernel kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 kernel-2.6.12-1.1387_FC4 kernel-2.6.12-1.1390_FC4 kernel-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 kernel-2.6.12-1.1420_FC4 kernel-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 and uninstalled with # rpm -e kernel-2.6.12-1.1387_FC4 If you really want to get rid of all Fedora kernels, then you have these options: * making an RPM out of your custom kernel and installing that instead. (preferred: investigate make rpm) * uninstalling the last Fedora kernel with rpm -e --nodeps * identifying all files in the last RPM with rpm -ql kernel and manually deleting them.
