This package includes a kernel that has appropriate configuration
options
enabled for the typical large enterprise server.  This includes SMP
support
for multiple processor machines, support for large memory configurations
and other appropriate items.

This package includes a SMP version of the Linux kernel. It is
required only on machines with two or more CPUs, although it should
work fine on single-CPU boxes

I assume this one you should use unless you have 2 processors, im not
100% sure but I believe it belongs to kernel-2.4.7-10.arch.rpm (where
arch is i386, i686, athlon, etc)

> 2.4.7-10BOOT

This package includes a trimmed down version of the Linux kernel.
This kernel is used on the installation boot disks only and should not
be used for an installed system, as many features in this kernel are
turned off because of the size constraints.
