Hi All,
As I am upgrading the kernel, I noticed these new kernel flavors..
There used to be a webpage for the different kernel descriptions for
Mandrake, but I can't seem to find it now .. I checked the wiki,
google, club and cooker but had no luck .. 

We have these kernels now ..
standard kernel --> kernel-2.6.8.1-24mdk
kernel-BOOT
kernel-enterprise
kernel-i586-up-1GB
kernel-i686-up-64GB
kernel-maximum
kernel-secure
kernel-smp

I know what BOOT, enterprise, secure and smp are, and we used to
have i686-up-4GB, but what are.. maximum, i686-up-64GB, i586-up-1GB
now ?
I think I read that i586-up-1GB had something to do with the AMDk6
from lurking the cooker-list but I can't seem to find confirmation. 

I have 1GB RAM and previously had to install the i686-up-1GB or
enterprise kernels, as with mdk 10OE.

Anyway, I found reference to the 1GB HIGHMEM in the defconfig from
the kernel source for -12mdk: 

#
# Firmware Drivers
#
CONFIG_EDD=y
# CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
CONFIG_BADRAM=y

Does this mean this now supported in the *standard* kernel 
.. or 2.6.8.1-24mdk now ?

It would seem so, as the config says, and was wondering if it was
documented somewhere since I have *very* little knowledge of kernel
components ... TIA
