Yes, the version numbering reads from left-to-right 2.4.20.99 is before 2.4.21.1 'legacy' indicates it is from the fedora-legacy project; progeny is unknown to me except an ISP brand name. athlon. vs i386 vs <none> indicates whether the rpm is built on/for a particular architecture. .i386 runs anywhere (tm) but .athlon is not guaranteed on i686 or x64 architecture. Brian Brunner brian.t.brunner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (610)796-5838 >>> fedoraleg_form@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 03/28/05 01:51PM >>> I am getting a little confused about the numbering conventions. For example, how does (if it does) kernel-2.4.20-31.9.progeny.7.athlon.rpm compare with kernel-2.4.20-42.9.legacy.athlon.rpm? Can I assume that the legacy version is a more current version than the progeny?
