When I updated/upgraded my Fedora Core 2 system I updated the kernel along with most other possible files. Now when GRUB comes up, I have a 3rd option to select and it appears to be the new update.
Does this mean I have 2 installed now? Ack! If so, how do i get rid of the old one or fix GRUB to show the proper one?

You are not supposed to bump your threads unless you have not got a reply in 24 hours because this sites members live in various time zones so may not have seen your question.
You do not need the kernel source for the kernel to work on your system. The kernel source you have installed is not for the new kernel, so you have to uninstsll it and make sure you install the source for the 2.6.10-1.771_FC2 kernel.
As for the "#", you are not supposed to type it into your commands, its there to indicate that the command is run as root. If there is a "$" sign, it means the commands are run as a normal user.
Ahhh,
Sorry for the impatience on my part, a bit of frustration with having to dump my Redhat 8.0 for Fedora to run some more up to date programs. Thanks for the help and info on posts.
Can you point me in the right direction to download the source? Not sure why I need it then if the kernel will run fine.
I can't remember exactly how the kernel-source was installed in FC2 (you should really have upgraded to FC3 or even better FC4), so do a google search.
as for the extra boot option i have fc4 and asked the same thing after the updates the reply was that it puts it there incase it crashes u have a new start point. i also have to agree with reddazz ive used fc1 and 2 and i installed 4 the other day i have to say i like it better or just learning it more not sure which.
