Hi,

I have installed mandrake community 10.0 on my laptop dell inspiron 8600.

However, I want to update several things. One is the kernel, because the apci 
settings I need are not in the 10.0 kernel.

What will work:

- setting the urpmi to cooker or something, or 10.0 official release and updating to  
a newer kernel

I never really understood if you can just switch from community 10.0 to 10.0 official 
to cooker and so on by urpmi? Will things go wrong?

Also the rpm's on the internet of 10.0 community do not seem to change when 
security holes and so on are found. Is that correct? SAhould I use 10.0 offical for 
that?


- downloading latest 2.6xx kernel source from kernel.org or somewhere and 
compiling that? Will things go wrong if I do that?

If I would update by using a recent kernel source by Linus, must I also re-compile 
kde, or my nvidia drivers and so on?

Hope someone can explain this a bit.
