Hi folks I subscribed to the cooker list a few days ago after getting cooker up and running on my toshiba 4070cds laptop. It replaced man 7.1 which installed and ran very sweetly on the little beast. I've been running mandrake since 5.3 and have watched almost in awe as it's turned into a lovely distro to slide in front of the newbies. Anyhow on to my question. I've been using mandrake update to keep my install current. I am now facing a kernel package upgrade and i remember reading a page about the proper procedure to accomplish this but i did'nt bookmark it at the time. Now i can't recall where it was. I attribute this failing to remember to half century + neurons, but that's another story. Any heads up to this info would be much appreciated. I have been following the discussion about cutdown installs with some interest because one of the things that's been on my own mandrake wish list is an install option that installs only the minimum system and kde (or gnome). I've been playing with linux since kernel 1.2.13 and i still find the sheer amount of packages daunting let alone trying to explain what all of it is to the newbies. thanks herman
