The > latest that I yumed was kernel-2.6.9-1.667. Here's what happened (version numbers here are not exact, but used as example). Before FC3 'went gold', work was happening in 'devel'. When it got to revision 649, it was branched into an FC3 dir. FC3 then got more updates and fixes, and eventually ended up at rev 667. Instead of incrementally adding each change that went into FC3 one-by-one into devel/, I added them all wholesale into rev 650 of devel. So they contain pretty much the same stuff, but due to the way I did the commits, it has a lower number. I'm going to 'cheat', and bump up rawhide a few hundred revs before I do another build which should ease the confusion a little over 'which is newer'. Dave
