I've been trying to compile my own Kernel source--failed miserably.

A few days later--I sit infront of the RPMDRAKE 10.0 with a few options.

Currently, my Kernel is the 2.6.3-7mdk.......I need to update so i can install ym ATI driver. Thus, I shall install the 2.6.3-13mdk.

At RPMDRAKE, I have these options:

1] kernel-source-2.6.3-13mdk
2] kernel-enterprice-2.6.3-13mdk-1-1mdk
3] kernel-i686-up-4GB-2.6.3.13mdk-1-1mdk
4] kernel-p3-smp-64GB-2.6.3.13mdk-1-1mdk
5] kernel-secure-2.6.3.13mdk-1-1mdk
6] kernel-source-stripped-2.6.3-13mdk
7] kernel-smp-2.6.3.13mdk-1-1mdk


Which one do I pick?

Well, what type of machine are you loading it on? It can be any of those that suit you as you failed to mention any type of hardware your using. If I had to guess and if your using just a regular desktop type machine, fairly new and not over 4 years old.. go with either kernel-enterprice-2.6.3-13mdk-1-1mdk or kernel-i686-up-4GB-2.6.3.13mdk-1-1mdk

smp = dual processors
secure = probably built to be more secure
source = the kernel source
p3 smp = designed for dual pIII processors
source stripped = source code but probably limited, not everything included or stripped of course.

Or you can just get the kernel from www.kernel.org and just customize one for your own machine and needs, not depending on Mandrake to install a already prebuilt one for you, with probably a bunch of features included you will never need or use, etc.
