[newbie] Cooker Kernel Updates

[A. Rick Anderson]

I've heard that the Cooker kernel updates fix the PS/2 mouse and TP 
Trackpoint problem.  What is the best way to download and install these 
patches?

All that I have is a 56K Modem from a Win2k machine.  [the sound / modem 
support on a TP is from a custom digital signal process and LM doesn't 
recognize them gracefully].  I can download files on the Win2k machine and 
ftp them over a LAN, but I have never installed a Cooker patch before.

tia,
