My system is Rawhide, the development branch of Fedora. What I have
installed, and use daily, is scheduled for release as Fedora 8 on November
8, 2007 and then on to what will be Fedora 9.

What I described to you   yum update  I do everyday. It is not uncommon to
get 4 or 5 kernels a week every week and each new kernel gets a new
kernel-headers package. All done as I described to you.

The kernel-headers packages contain the C header files used to compile
source code. If you are not going to be doing that you do not need it.

Good luck.
