I guess I need to find a later kernel?  I ran update with yumex 
yesterday and it deleted all the yum rpm's I had saved in this 
computer!  The other computer, box4, has no internet connection yet, 
only the non functioning "wireless" adapter at which all of my effort is 
directed.

Yes, I do not know what the red file names mean, blue is a directory, 
but the rest of the colors?  There ought to be a list somewhere but like 
many things I have not yet stumbled on it. 

At least I have been able to gather and install a number of rpm's and 
their dependencies and now the files attempt to "make" with errors.  As 
you say I would probably do better with the updates.  I will keep 
chipping away at it.

Thanks for your thoughts.
