The last one works even better if you make a bashrc alias for it ;)
A lot less typing, EG,
alias xxx='urpmi.update -a --wget && urpmi --auto-select'
(xxx is 3 or 4 descriptive letters of your choosing.) Just put the
line (as root) in /etc/bashrc at the end of the file.
It's OK to use urpmi for kernel-source rpms, but not (read
_NEVER_) for kernel binary rpms (ie, the pre-compiled ones). Use
'rpm -ivh kernel-xxxxxx.rpm' Actually, urpmi already has a safeguard
to prevent using it to upgrade a kernel, see /etc/urpmi/inst.list
There were several 2.4.20 Mdk kernels recently. I had minor
problems with one (the first one IIRC), the last one 2.4.20-2 had no
problems (for me). Current one is 2.4.21-pre2.1, the first Mdk 2.4.21
kernel, and appears to have no problems. These kernels are on cooker
mirrors, but should work on 9.0. There's also newer Mandrake kernels
available from the Club, and I believe also on Mdk unsupported/
mirrors. These would probly be a better choice on a 'stock' system ;)
