There will be times when you absolutely _must_ run a Fedora kernel for correct operation. See for example the time that upstream had issues with SELinux & tmpfs. We carried a patch fixing that in the Fedora kernel so that we could ship FC3 on time. It didn't get into mainline until a month later. And because of this, people building their own kernels did hit problems. Sometimes things break, and distro kernels shield users from that. Giving it all up to go it alone with mainline kernels means sacrificing that. If you're building your own kernels, you have to know what to expect. (That's a general statement, not specifically aimed at you, as I'm well aware you have a very good handle on what to expect from kernel-de-jour :-) > - Would the person sending challenge-response messages to > fedora-test postings (that would appear to be > eorgan945.sspam@xxxxxxxxxx) please stop?
