Actually, I've compiled several kernels on several different
occasions. My concern is for the new kernel breaking existing
packages. If I don't have what I need in a prepackaged RPM, I
really don't have a clue where to get the source to compile and
install unless it's on www.gnu.org. Take, for example, the

sources for that (or any package) in the event an updated RPM
isn't available?
Thanks so much for your informative response. I appreciate your
time and answers.
