Thanks to David and Adam for responding to my question.
I found that
rpm -ivh kernel-2.0.32-3.i386.rpm
followed by
rpm -e kernel-2.0.32-2.i386.rpm
did what I wanted, i.e., upgraded the 2.0.32 kernel without
interfering with the 2.0.31 kernel I still had on the system (which I
will keep for a couple of days until it is clear that the newest
kernel is ok).
