Basically, a lot of linux users do their own kernels. I realize that
certain packages have a dependency on what version (major at least) is
installed, but I think it's safe to say that in the tradition of Unix we
should let them be installed regardless. If it doesn't work, they can
read the information for the package and either upgrade the kernel or
uninstall the package that fails to operate. In any case, who the heck
is running a 2.0.x or earlier kernel on a Mandrake 7 system???
My $0.02. :o)
