Do I need the 2.6 kernel in order to test the NUT USB driver?  This is 
the reason I haven't upgraded from FC1 before.  I tried FC3 (w/ a 2.6 
kernel) on a spare EXT3 partition on a test machine, and it created a 
partition that FC1 (w/ a 2.4 kernel) couldn't read (any access through a 
soft link on the new partition gave an IO error).  I searched the web at 
the time and found no such incompatibility advertised.  Until I'm happy 
with FC3 or FC4, I'd like to be able to switch back and forth to FC1 
while using a common EXT2/3 data partition, and a file system 
incompatibility makes that difficult.

I was planning on compiling NUT anyway, but I was trying to get an RPM 
that installed so that I made sure I got any auxiliary files (like the 
one that goes in /etc/init.d).  If installing the version of NUT (1.4, I 
believe) that comes with FC1 provides those files, then that will do, I 
guess.
