In Mandrake 7.1 there are i think all of the how-to from the linux-doc site. In there
is one from the kernel, It is very good, read it. All things in Linux need prepeation.
If you don't you mess it all up. (even though that it fun)
Also go to www.linuxnewbie.org - very good.

Hey, Mandrake peoples, hows about a neato kernel
thanks Tom. You answered my questions before I sent
them. I've pretty much ruined my recent install by
mucking about trying to get X 4.01 installed and
working. I suspect I need to re-install so I'm going
to "practice" updating the kernel before I do that
just for shits and giggles.

I personally cannot thank Tom enough for mentioning mandrakeuser.org (btw there is no
www first). It has a wealth of information in it. I plan on utilizing this resource so
frequently that I even filed it on my personal toolbar in Netscape so I wouldn't have
to hunt for it in my bookmarks. :-)

Very cool. I followed his simple instructions about using
Openssh and now I'm using it. Wow.

Auto-Updating the kernel is highly discouraged by Mandrake, and I wish I
would have read that before I toasted a bunch of stuff

Then install the kernel with RPM or Kpackage, so on.
Then, enter 'root' and edit your /etc/lilo.conf file, which is where you
found the new entries.

I just used Mandrake Update in version 7.1 for the first time and
everything went smoothly (I assume). It updated a lot of packages, but
the one I am most interested in is the new kernel 2.2.16-9mdk. I looked
in /etc/lilo.conf and there are two new entries:

Actually, those two new kernels were downloaded when I ran Mandrake update,
after the initial installation of 7.1. So, they were downloaded as rpm's (?)
from Mandrake's mirror site. But, I think that the kernel rpm's still have to
be installed, although I don't know if this means they need to be
A mirror is a download site which contains a copy of files at some other
site, so for example, the "Update" program asks you to select a 'mirror'
of the main mandrake download site so that you can choose a site that may
be closer (and therefore perhaps faster) to download from, as well as

May I ask a question?
What is meant by a 'mirror'?
