I wanted to go to FC2 to get better video drivers for my laptop, and a few
other things.
The FC2 install process removes kernel-2.4*, but leaves the alsa drivers
etc. there. The old kernel can be put back with rpm -ivh --force, and it
boots fine with FC2.
The problem for me is that the driver for my touchpad is different enough
in 2.6 that the new version of X wont read it with a 2.4 kernel, so I'm
stuck with 2.6 or external mouse for now, but other people may be ok.
I couldn't find the rpm for apt that works with FC2, so I had to download
the RPMs I needed by hand, but thats OK for a few.
There are rpms of drivers for the centrino wireless card on atrpms, which
work great with the FC2 kernel - building them by hand is a real pain.
