No, the Installer doesn't ask which kernel version to use (it uses 2.4.3 by
default), but I haven't tried installing in "High security" mode. I think
that most (if not all) of the patches that mandrake had put in for the 2.2
kernel are unneeded for 2.4.3, so the obvious conclusion would be (if I'm
right) - that you only need the "Secure" kernel if you'r going to use a 2.2
kernel (which is quite alright where Mandrake is concerned - you can use a
stable and proven kernel instead of living on the top of the upgrade curve -
for all they care :-)
