"This NHF is primarily for the Mandrake Distribution, although it can pertain to Red Hat as Mandrake is an ofshoot of Red Hat."

"I upgraded my kernel from 2.2.17-21mdk to 2.4.0. The first step i took was to Download ksymoops-2.4.0 and modutils-2.4.1."

"I then unpacked these in my /home/foo dir, then i read the README and INSTALL files of both of these. This told me remove my old man pages in my /usr/man/man1 dir,which i did, these will be replaced by man8. "
