The source code for kernel 2.2.1 is included on the cd image. I noticed a
file (apps/kernel2.2/INSTALL) that says this:

  Linux 2.2.1 kernel installation
   ------------------------------- 
  
  In order to install your new 2.2.1 linux kernel on your Mandrake system, 
  run X/KDE and type: 
 
  ------------------------------
   rpm -Uvh initscripts-3.80-2.i386.rpm
   rpm -Uvh modutils-2.1.121-3.i386.rpm 
   rpm -Uvh net-tools-1.49-2.i386.rpm
   rpm -Uvh procinfo-15-1.i386.rpm    
   rpm -Uvh util-linux-2.9-8.i386.rpm

What do these new packages do? 
Will it still be ok to run 2.0.36 with them installed? 2.2.1 without them??

Any clues?
