The kernel-2.2.16-2mdk is available by ftp from most of the mandrake mirrors in
the cooker directory. I wish it was an update for 7.0 but I managed to get it
working anyway. Does anyone here know the correct way to upgrade a kernel by
rpm? I got mine working but I don't think I did it the recommended way. In the
past I've always just recompiled, but I'd like to know how this is supposed to
be done on RPM based systems.
TIA,
Adam
