Question [SOLVED] How do I swap the kernel?
How do I upgrade or replace the kernel with a newer one say Slackware 2.04 to a new Slackware kernel?
My Distro is based on Slackware and I can't upgrade this Distro because it douse not have any upgrade yet.

Any chance I could do an update to the kernel or something simple?

If the devs/packagers for your distribution have released a newer kernel, you should be able to use the package manager for your distribution to easily install a newer precompiled kernel.
