I did the same thing, and noticed that the links weren't updated. I don't think that has anything to do with the software manager, but who knows. All I know is that when I updated with these RPMs, my system would not boot (see the archives with my posts in the last week or so). This is because I'm using Reiserfs, and the RPMs really screwed something up. I think they messed with one of the boot scripts, because going back to the original Mandrake 8.0 2.4.3 RPMs did not fix the problem. Unfortunately I haven't gotten very far on this list with figuring out what it broke and how to fix it. Through a very painful process I ended up getting back on my feet by compiling 2.4.9 from source. I'm never going to use RPMs to update the kernel again. I probably could have avoided some of the pain by following the instructions and not using MandrakeUpdate, but who knows. Dan
