urpmf --description kernel-tmb-laptop kernel-tmb-laptop-2.6.23-0.rc8.1mdv: The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of your Mandriva Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device input and output, etc. This kernel is compiled for laptop use, single or multiple i686 processor(s)/core(s) and less than 4GB RAM, using HZ_100 to save battery, voluntary preempt, CFS cpu scheduler, cfq i/o scheduler and some other laptop-specific optimizations. If you want to sacrifice battery life for performance, you better use the kernel-tmb-desktop. This kernel relies on in-kernel smp alternatives to switch between up & smp mode depending on detected hardware. To force the kernel to boot in single processor mode, use the "nosmp" boot parameter. For instructions for update, see: http://www.mandriva.com/security/kernelupdate The tmb kernels is an experimental kernel based on the kernel.org kernels with added patches. Some of them may/will never end up in the main kernels due to their experimental nature. Some refer to this kernel as a 'hackkernel' ... Use these kernels at your own risk !! If you want more info on the various kernel-tmb flavours, please visit: http://www.iki.fi/tmb/Kernels/ kernel-tmb-laptop-devel-2.6.23-0.rc8.1mdv: This package contains the kernel-devel files that should be enough to build 3rdparty drivers against for use with kernel-tmb-laptop-2.6.23-0.rc8.1mdv. If you want to build your own kernel, you need to install the full kernel-tmb-source-2.6.23-0.rc8.1mdv rpm.
