[newbie] Kernal Upgrade

Hi,

I have Linux Kernal 2.2.13.

I would like to upgrade this to the latest version that supports USB, and SB Live!

I also have a USB camera and scanner that I'd like to use.

How do I do this? Do I upgrade my Kernal level by level (i.e. download and install the

2.2.13 patch first, followed by the 2.2.14 patches and so on), or can I download the

latest Kernal and go straight to that.

Also, I only have a winmodem, so can I download these files to windows and then

from Linux copy them over for installation ? I intend to purchase an external modem

but not right now.

I currently have Linux-Mandrake 6.1 (Red Hat Linux with enhancements).

Thanks,

Michael
