I'm honestly not sure what the enterprise kernel is all about, but it's
safe to say that's not the one you're looking for.  The smp (Symmetric
MultiProcessor) kernel is for motherboards with two processors.  


It's really not too tough, though, just scary at first.  Read through
the link I sent you ( http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/magic.php )
once before going through with anything.  

The files you are going to want are the kernel, kernel-source,
kernel-headers, and kernel-doc.  Also lm_utils and lm_utils-devel.

You should be fine, don't worry about it.
