    hi...
    i'm having FC1(2.4.22-1.2115.nptl).Now i want to upgrade my kernel to
    the latest 2.6.3..(linux-2.6.3.tar.bz2). Is it ok to do so? or i 've
    to make adjustment to my system for it? i'm having 1.3Gb of free space
    on FC1 partition.
    & also that is there a way in which i can open the tarball & upgrade
    the kernel just like the rpm -Uvh way so that my kernel upgrade from
    2.4 to 2.6?

    thankx.

    Ali.
