Well my kernel is name 2.4.17-10 using 'uname -r' to check.
But when I used 'rpm -ivh kernel*' it updated the kernel no problem.
I tried to update the source, headers, docs but gave me an error on the 
headers.

so with uname -r it shows the new kernel but with the command 'rpm -qa 
kernel*' it shows the old kernel headers, docs, source.

I think I am done except I may want to keep the old kernel in place or maybe 
just remove it after I find this one is stable.

thanks

I feel like a million bucks somewhat updating my first kernel!

also my other questions were not answered that I post, would somebody like to 
take a stab at it?


What is the difference between:

kernel enterprise
kernel
kernel security

And for the docs do I use

kernel.html
kernel.ps
kernel.pdf
or does it really matter?

I've downloaded all of these 2.4.17-10.mdk
kernel
kernel headers
kernel security
kernel source
kernel enterprise
kernel.html
kernel.ps
kernel.pdf
kernel smp
kernel boot

If I use the command 'rpm -ivh kernel*'
does anyone foresee any problems?

This will be my second attempt and I know to check lilo but want to be able 
to use ppp module for internet and this rpm business looks pretty effortless 
(I HOPE).

on my machine the source, headers, doc, kernel are all the same version as 
2.4.8-26mdk I believe.

Thanks for the bandwidth,
