These are all the different kernel flavours. You only need to install the one corresponding to the kernel you are using. If you do not know which kernel you are using hit Ctl+Alt+F1 and the kernel revision will be shown above the prompt (Ctl+Alt+F7 to go back to X) This page http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/MdkKernel92 describes the kernel flavours (It is a bit out of date and does not mention the 2.6 kernels) New kernels have to be installed not upgraded so open a terminal, su to become root, then urpmi.update -a (to update tour urpmi database), followed by urpmi kernel You will be provided with a list of available kernels. Pick the one you want. On your next boot you will be running the new kernel, there will be a new Lilo menu entry to enable you to select the old kernel if you wish. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
