I don't know why it showed up on the one, Mandrake screened kernels out of the Mandrake Update program. You don't WANT them to show up there, because then you might be temped to use MU to update a kernel. At which point, you end up with a *really* big mess on your hands. Download the kernel manually, then use rpm to install it (-ivh), not update. Remember to run lilo (assuming that's what you use for your boot loader) to put the new kernel into the boot sequence. When you're sure that the new kernel works, "rpm -e" the old kernel, edit /etc/lilo.conf to take references to the old kernel out and set the new kernel as the default, run lilo again, and you're done. --Dave
