Upgrade to 2.6.8.1
 

thanks for reading my newbie post.
I downloaded mandrake 10.0 with kernal 2.6.3-7mdk.
Platform: Gateway 450 ROG Centrino
I am having many problems associated with freezing while shutdown among others but basically I want to learn how to upgrade a Linux kernal. I have downloaded and unpacked the 2.6.8.1 package and would like a tuitorial on how to upgrade from my current version.
I have done my research but cannot find a specific tuitorial on the 2.6.8.1 pacakge. Any help is appreciated.
