Fedora / RedhatFedora / RedhatPosted Jan 28, 2004 6:58 UTC (Wed) by TwoTimeGrime (guest, #11688)In reply to: Fedora / Redhat by proski Parent article: Michael Johnson leaves Red Hat, Fedora > Those who don't use the official kernel won't get security updates for it. What official kernel? Red Hat's? Every time Red Hat releases a new kernel RPM they also release a kernel-source RPM. For example on Fedora Core 1 there is: kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.i686.rpm If you install the second RPM it will put Red Hat's kernel with patches into /usr/src/linux-2.4 along with a handful of .config files for building the kernel in /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs. When new security patches come out you can install the new kernel-source RPM, copy over your .config file and then recompile the kernel.
