First. Thanks for your detailed instructions. Some of it is still a foreign language
to me.
The following command which I got from another list shows this..
find . -type f -exec grep CONFIG_EDD {} \; -print
CONFIG_EDD=y
./config-2.6.3-7mdk
CONFIG_EDD=y
./config-2.6.3-15mdk
CONFIG_EDD=y
./config-2.6.3-16mdk
uname -r
2.6.3-16mdk
I am running the last kernel. Then I suppose they must be wrong??
But it is not the kernel 2.6.5 or later as suggested. Should that make a difference??
Thanks

To install the latest kernel first run Mandrake Update (Menu>System>Configuration>Packaging>MandrakeUpdate) If this is the first time you have run it, it will ask you to select an update mirror from a list. MandrakeUpdate will show you a list of available updates. You should install at least the security alerts. Running Mandrake Update will refresh your computers local copy of available kernels. Now go to the Mandrake Install GUI at Menu>System>Configuration>Packaging>InstallSoftware and enter kernel in the search box. You will see a whole list of possible kernels. The latest kernel for a standard 10.0 system is kernel-2.6.3.16mdk-1-1mdk.i586 Install the kernel. New kernels are installed alongside existing kernels. The new kernel will become the default boot kernel and a new boot menu item will allow you to boot the old kernel if you wish. If you have an Nvidia graphics card and use the proprietary nvidia driver you will need to install kernel-source to match the new kernel and recompile the driver or else X will not work when you boot the new kernel.
