Hi Tom,
Thanks for the info. I think there was a problem with the first attempt at
updating cause I tried it again a little later and this time only grabed
the newer kernel. the Update utility took care of downloading AND
installing the new kernel. As soon as I rebooted this time the new kernel
was installed and booted just fine. I'm really liking this version of
Linux a lot cause everytime I get to messing around with the kernel(s) I
almost always toast my box and end up with a few hours of repair
afterward! :P
