victor.....i assume these two kernels are precompiled kernels that came

what u see in kpackage is the source of your new kernel......u can either
use the precompiled that came with the installation
or compile a customized yourself.....
u can easyly start your linux with the secure kernel by pressing TAB at the
LILO prompt and then entering the name of it, which shows up under the
"label=" option in lilo.conf.
i would recommend keeping the old kernel...always better to go for sure if
the new kernel doesnt work properly for your system.....
