Yeah, but in this case, there really is none. The RedHat kernel is built
on and relies on RedHat's specially-tuned gcc, and may possibly export
certain RedHat-specific symbols that the Mandrake kernel may not have.
It's a gamble to install that kernel; it would be better to do without
for the length of time it takes you to figure out how to configure your
kernel correctly to work with all of your peripherals. The short-cut
would probably cause more work than the optimum solution.
