 Hi all

 I've googled, looked through the how-to's, Twiki'd FAQ'd, and everywhere

 There are hundreds of pages of help for upgrading the kernel. Most of it
 incomprehensible:)

 But I cannot find how to tell what version I currently have.

You did not say what release of Mandrake you are running.

BTW you are aware that the smpkernel is for multi-processor systems
(more than 1 CPU).

 headers are tied to glibc. source should match the kernel version.
 The switch was made around 2.4.11  IIRC.  Lately there are no
 kernel-header rpms, being part of glibc now. I think that's been for
 several months.

excuse my stupidity but I'm still not clear on this. Why are they both not

   Well, it's not stupidity, unless I am too :)  I don't entirely 
understand the change either.  You can search the archives of the 
cooker ML, or the linux-kernel ML for better explainations.

   Seems what was called kernel-headers were actually glibc headers 
all along.  kernel-source contains the actual kernel headers. By 
completely integrating the headers into glibc, they don't need to be 
updated unless glibc is, and are not as dependent on kernel version.


 Like I said, if I understood it better, I could explain it better ;)
