This is what I meant when I said the kernel might require other packages.
This kernel was built for Mandrake 10.1, and because of differences in the two
releases it is asking for a package not available in 10.0. I would not
recommend trying to install the bootloader-utils package. That will very
likely demand other packages ad infinitum.
So if you want a newer kernel, then I think you are restricted to either compiling your own, or upgrading to Mdk 10.1
BTW: That 2.4 kernel you installed will now be your default kernel. Your 2.6.3
kernel will be an option in the Lilo menu.
You can uninstall the kernel with the Software Uninstall GUI.

Alright, I installed Mandrake 10.1. Does it use XFree 86? If so what version? If not what does it use?
