Probably not the smartest move. Be best to manually download the latest kernel rpm and rpm -ivh it. Then modify your lilo/grub config back to booting your custom kernel by default. That way you've avoided the dep issue but haven't lost your custom kernel. Stuart -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
