Question Upgrading to Kernel 2.6.28.2 in Fedora 10?

Hello There,

I'm hoping somebody can assist me through some of this, because I've never compiled a kernel before and I'm in need of the 2.6.28 kernel (two words: macbook aluminium).

I guess my biggest question is, will this guide work well for F10? I would hate to get half-way through it just to find out that F10 does something different than F08 or F09. Is there anything that you experts can see right away that would possibly be disastrous? If things do come to worse, I can simply select the previous kernel at GRUB boot right?

Or will the Fedora team be releasing the update soon through the package manager? Is there a way I can activate the development version and only get the kernel update? As you can tell, I have a lot of questions because I've never done this before!

Thanks for any advice in advance!

you should avoid building the kernel and get a prebuilt 2.6.28.1 for F10 from koji.

Just download the packages from here. They have not yet built the 2.6..28.2 version but I guess that may appear soon.
