I took your advice and went to artoo. Found the latest yum.conf and
copied to my system. Ran yum; and after several hours of downloading
rpms, it did the update. I am now running kernel 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl,
which I think is the latest.  My next challenge is to get sound working
I need to find the alsa package compatible with new kernel. If not, I'll
have to roll my own.

Thanks, Mike
