[expert] 2.2.17 kernel on Mandrake 7.0--safe?

[Bruce E. Harris]

Hi,

I have never upgraded a kernel using a RPM, always used soruce in the past. But
I wonder if Mandrake does something special to the kernel to make a Mandrake
specific RPM kernel worth it? In light of this, is the RPM under cooker 2.2.17
a safe bet for Mandrake 7.0? I now have two reasons to upgrade my kernel, so
guess I will take the plunge.

TIA
