(no sarcasm intended) Are there any special circumstances? I wouldn't just blindly update the kernel, especially if you already have a copy of 8.1 - why not just use that? I would imagine that anything capable of running 8.0 could also handle 8.1. Then again, if there's something specific that you need support for, you might just recompile your existing kernel? re-post with more info, k?

Mike, Download the kernel form source is one way. www.kernel.org Or get the updated rpm from the mandrake ftp site or one of its mirrors. http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/install/index.html#ku Try the MDK Users site.

Hi, Any Mandrake prepared kernel from www.rpmfind.net (search for 'kernel'), will be fine for 8.x I guess. Download it from there and install the rpm, it is the easiest way. Then say to lilo or grub where the kernel is, add a new entry and make it the default, it should be easy with the Mandrake control center. (In www.kernel.org you will find the kernels ready to compile, if you want) I recommend you not to go for 2.4.8. I am quite happy with 2.4.13.

Re: [expert] will questions on 8.0 not be answered?
Thanks to all who offered help on my situation. To let all know , I got kernel-2.4.17-8mdk.rpm and the header and doc rpm's at kernel .org and did a simple install and FINALLY got it to work just dandy! ;-) had to do some editing of lilo.conf but now I have both the stock 2.4.3-20 and the 2.4.17-8 kernels to choose from. and all is very well! The only thing that I doesn't run out of the box on the new kernel is VMware 2.0.4, but when I find the header files for the 2.4.17 kernel ( If anyone knows where they were put... ) I think they are in /usr/include , but if so vmware will not compile. but then I do have the old kernel too. Anyway , Thanks again especially to William Bouterse of Talkeetna, Ak, who gave me the key to making it work. Thanks again everyone!!! Linux on !
