If you'd rather not compile your own kernel - check out
http://fedoranews.org/jorge/howto/howto01.shtml
Also, rawhide/development has a different version of 2.6 kernel.
Eventually rajanv -> RHEL ; rawhide -> FC2.
I guess either of them (with proper dependent packages) can
be installed with yum.
I have a 600E upgraded to rawhide using yum - but I still run FC1 2.4
kernel on it (as 2.6 boots - but I didn't change any config to make it
more suitable)
