No, if /etc/urpmi/inst.list has 'kernel' in it. Then the kernel
will be installed, not upgraded. Here's my inst.list, yours is probly
the same,
# Here you can specify packages that need to be installed instead

kernel
kernel-smp
kernel-secure
kernel-enterprise
kernel-linus2.2
kernel-linus2.4
kernel22
kernel22-secure
kernel22-smp

Yes. You could use either urpmi or rpm -ivh. Just make sure to
first check your inst.list file if you use urpmi.
