Hi,

You can not use your own kernels, only the one provided to you by linode.

The boot-up settings are managed via the LPM configuration profiles.

thats not what caker said in an earlier post on here when people were asking him to provide a fedora core 2 OS. he said that people can update themselves via yum.

how am i supposed to upgrade to fedora core 2 if i can't boot into the kernel fedora core 2 provides lol.

Okay nevermind I see the 2.6.7 kernel available in the configuration profile.

So if make a "Fedora Core 2" profile, and set it to use the fedora core 1 disk image for udba and the swap file for udbb, and then reboot, itll boot into the 2.6.7 kernel without erasing any of my files right?
