What's New in This Release:

¡¤ The big improvement here is that Fedora rawhide (will be Fedora 9) now includes RPM hooks, similar to Ubuntu's triggers, to invoke the DKMS autoinstaller at the end of an RPM transaction when a new kernel is installed.
¡¤ This means there is no need to wait for a reboot to invoke the dkms_autoinstaller: it is now invoked right after a new kernel is installed, so one can rebuild drivers immediately and include them in the initial ramdisk.
