There are instruction on compiling new kernels in the manual http://doc.mandrakelinux.com/MandrakeLinux/100/en/Command-Line.html/compiling-kernel-chapter.html
But be aware Mandrake apply lots of patches to the standard kernel.org kernel
and if you use a standard kernel you might find bits of your system may not
work quite the same.
Is there a particular reason you want 2.6.10 or is it just for fun?
BTW: The latest Mandrake kernel for 10.1 is 2.6.8.1-12mdk and 2.6.10.1-1-1mdk
is on the development 'cooker' mirrors.
Installing 'Cooker' packages is not advised on a production system as they can
have nasty bugs and may require an awful lot of dependencies.

Derek,
I have a Radeon 9800. The driver installs correctly but all the programs go very very slow. I think that upgrading to the latest kernel or one not far behind it may fix the problem.
If I can't use the 2.6.10.1-1-1mdk because it is still in the cooker then will you tell me how to upgrade to the 2.6.8.1-12mdk? Thks.
From,
Mike Chalmers
