Hi All,

To get Firewire support on CentOS, I have to install the "Plus"
kernel. Does anyone know if I have to do this on Fedora 12 or
is it built into the regular kernel?

Many thanks,
-T

I believe the Fedora kernels have everything built (eg 'kitchen sink'
kernel builds). The RHEL kernels (which is what CentOS uses), don't
built all the 'extra' stuff (like firewire, ISA modules, older SCSI and
Network cards, all of the wireless NIC drivers, etc.)

If you are using CentOS 5, many of the extra modules are available via
the elrepo repository as separate kernel modules (this includes the
Firewire modules).
