Installing new kernal

["Eric A. Bonney" <mailinglists@vanhlebarsoftware.com>]

Is there another way to install the updated kernal other than the 
automated version that is supplied with kde?  It worked just fine on my 
laptop and server when I used Gnome, but for some reason the window 
isn't large enough using kde and I can't make it scroll, so when it 
prompts me for the ok to continue I can't get there.  So I was wondering 
if there was an automated way to do it either from command or something 
else?

Thanks,
