I ran the following command to update my kernel. Upon reboot of computer, the version is still the same as 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.
It should be kernel 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5

This is the command I used in attempts to update kernel.

rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5.stk16.i586.rpm

Did I do this wrong? Or is there something else I need to do as it is a "source" file.

Please let me know. As always, I am learning Linux and with your help, I can better understand.

Thanks :-)
