Kernels are not "updated". They have to be "installed". Here is how : 1. When in a browser, right-click the kernel-2.6.3-8blah..blahh.rpm and choose "copy" to /home/rick/somedirectorywhatever. 2. Change into that directory, open a terminal, su to root, give root password. 3. Type : "urpmi kernel"(and now hit TAB) 4. If the output from that shows your desired kernel version, hit enter. 5. Enjoy all the hashes. 6.When the command prompt shows again, you are done. 7. If you want the new kernel as default, edit your /etc/lilo.conf (by changing the the "default" line to the new version). 8. Don't forget to run lilo afterwards.
