Mmmthis makes less sence every time I read a msg in this thread...2.2.15-0.7mdk?? there's no such thing in ftp.tux.org nor in my CD (burned ISO)there's a bunch of different 2.2.14-15mdk's, plus the linus-2.2.14-1mdk one I'm running...so...now I'm completely mixed up...where did that 2.2.15 come from? This kernel is in the cooker distrib, not Air. Cooker is the always changing development version of Mandrake (now 7+). Before a package makes it as an Air update, it is tested in cooker. This is also the meaning of the decimal 0.7 build number, not ready for prime time. When it is, the build number will be pumped up to 1, and the 2.2.15-1mdk will appear as an Air update. Now, this is mainly a guess, anyone correct me if I am wrong. -=- kk1 __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Mmmthis makes less sence every time I read a msg in this thread...2.2.15-0.7mdk?? there's no such thing in ftp.tux.org nor in this is the current version of cooker of our kernel. It's basically the 2.2.15pre3 with a bunch of patch. my CD (burned ISO)there's a bunch of different 2.2.14-15mdk's, plus the linus-2.2.14-1mdk one I'm running...so...now I'm completely mixed up...where did that 2.2.15 come from? Choose the kernel for your need : kernel (the standard kernel of distribution) kernel-smp (same of normal but with multi processor support). kernel-fb (same of normal but with frame buffer support). kernel-secure (a kernel fb smp with special (annoy) patch for security). kernel-linus (the kernel like you find on ftp.*.kernel.org in rpm). And well if want the bleeding on the edge, you can get the hackkernel from contrib, it's the kernel 2.3 with patch.
