[WBEL-users] updating the kernel

[John]

i downloaded the entire mailing list archive and have been searching 
through it.  I could only seem to find a few references to updating the 
kernel.  i used the techniques posted by marcel.gsteiger@milprog.ch on 
oct. 6th 2004 to get yum working for package updates.  (his edits on the 
two python files), however i still cannot seem to get the kernel to 
update. if i type 'yum update kernel' it still does not update the 
kernel.  perhaps i am doing something wrong here?  i did not install X, 
gnome, or kde....i don't see how that could affect anything but figured 
i'd mention it.  the few times i tried up2date it would say to type "rpm 
--install (etc etc.) which afterwards i would type and it would give me 
the same message as if i never had typed it...

any help appreciated on updating my kernel
