NO.  I wasn't aware that there as a .13 kernel, Dave.  I moved from .12 
to .14 when the up2date icon advised that non-kernel updates were 
available and learned that .14 had been released.  The non-kernel 
updates installed in the same update session were
xemacs-21.4.17-0.FC2
xemacs-common-21.4.17-0.FC2
xemacs-info-21.4.17-0.FC2
Freewinlibs-1.11-42.1.i386.rpm

None of the non-kernel software has been used.
