Again, this would be an EXCELLENT idea. With all the problems that are
caused by someone doing a kernel upgrade in MandrakeUpdate (and it's NOT
unreasonable for someone who hasn't heard about the problem to think that
if it's listed there, it must be upgradable from there - after all, that's
what MandrakeUpdate is there for...), they *really* should just configure
MandrakeUpdate to not do a kernel.
Does anyone from Mandrake read this list? :-)
