 It's not necessary... if you had 2.2.15 I'd say upgrade to 2.2.16 or
 2.2.17 due to a security problem, but 2.2.14 should be ok.

FYI the security problem of 2.2.15 was here in 2.2.14

 Currently I have 2.2.14 from Mandrake 7.0 (Dec 99)
 Previously, I was expecting to upgrade to 2.4 kernel. Any news on it?

Unstable from what I know, but I haven't paid too much attention.  I'd
rather stick to the stable kernels than 2.4.. =)  But you can try it...
=)

 P.S. I usally upgrade with KPackage, clicking on RPM. Will it work in this 
 case?

No!  Don't ever upgrade a kernel like that.  Follow the instructions at
www.linux-mandrake.com/en/fupdates.php3 (search for the kernel update
for 7.1).  Follow those instructions and you will have no problems.

 Detailed instructions that work (I use them myself many 
times) are
 available on www.linux-mandrake.com/en/fupdates.php3.

The MandrakeUsers pages also have a good set of instructions 
on kernel upgrading.
