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. Rick Kunath
