It uses the same modules that the main kernel uses, so it is a small download (about 1.5MB), and it has menu icons and some other scripts to get it installed properly, so it is the best one to use. I found it here:
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrakelinux/devel/cooker/contrib/i586/kernel-win4lin-2.6.3.7mdk-3-8mdk.i586.rpm For some reason, it never made it into contrib for 10.0 CE. I'll email the maintainer tos find out why. I also just noticed that this is the package you found, and yes it is the one to use. make sure you match the pacake to your kernel, in other words the package you reference matches kernel-i686-up-4GB-2.6.3.7mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm -- /g
