'Mandrake 7.1b' according to /etc/mandrake-release. I installed from

I installed the kernel source after the installation from the above
url. 'rpm -qa|grep kernel' reports:
kernel-2.2.15-0.28mdk
kernel-fb-2.2.15-0.28mdk
kernel-headers-2.2.15-0.28mdk
kernel-doc-2.2.15-0.28mdk
kernel-smp-2.2.15-0.28mdk
kernel-source-2.2.15-0.28mdk
kernel-utils-2.2.15-0.28mdk

Thanks Everyone!
