You generally need only one of the kernel RPMs (and
kernel-source/kernel-headers if you plan to do development).
Which one you need depends on your system:
kernel-2.2.9-27mdk:
normal kernel for systems with one processor
kernel-fb-2.2.9-27mdk:
kernel for systems with one processor with framebuffer support
compiled in. Framebuffers are a kernel way to access the graphics
card; at the moment, almost no package makes use of it.
kernel-smp-2.2.9-27mdk:
normal kernel for systems with more than one processor
kernel-smp-fb-2.2.9-27mdk:
kernel for systems with more than one processor with framebuffer
support (see above)
You NEVER need to install kernel-BOOT, because that's used to generate
installation boot disks only.
