Thanks for the tips on the kernel install. 

I have installed them many times. 

What was curious about the behavior of Mandrake Update in this case is that 
unlike the behavior in the past, the kernel source was never shown in the 
update list. In the past, whenever a new bugfix kernel was released, the 
kernel source would show up in the updates list, prompting the user to 
install it, then follow that with the installation of the appropriate kernel 
as you described. The presence of the kernel source was always a good flag 
that new kernels were available for installation.

That didn't happen this time.

The other curious thing is that the comments section of the description of the 
kernels and kernel source (2.6.3-8) read "not available". In the past, this 
section held a description of the kernel, and information as to the bugs 
corrected by the package. None of this information is there on these kernels. 

I'd like to know if these are valid kernels, were they released as bug fixes, 
and why they are described as "unavailable". There is something strange about 
these kernel packages.
