===Fedora Core 7 kernel source===

yumdownloader --source kernel
rpm -ivh kernel*.rpm
rpmbuild -bp --target=$(uname -m) /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec

===Upgrading Fedora Release===
My testbed is a fc7 64bit. I did the followings to upgrade it to FC8

Find and install fedora-release-8-3.noarch.rpm & fedora-release-notes-8.0.0-3.noarch.rpm from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases
%%
rpm -Uvh fedora-release-8-3.noarch.rpm fedora-release-notes-8.0.0-3.noarch.rpm
yum clean all
yum -y update
%%

Make sure you have enough disk space on /var/cache/yum to hold some 1500 rpms. I hit a few failed dependencies, so I just remove these packages and rerun yum.
