This kernel is in the cooker distrib, not Air. Cooker is the always changing
development version of Mandrake (now 7+). Before a package makes it as an
Air update, it is tested in cooker. This is also the meaning of the decimal
0.7 build number, not ready for prime time. When it is, the build number
will be pumped up to 1, and the 2.2.15-1mdk will appear as an Air update.
Now, this is mainly a guess, anyone correct me if I am wrong.
