He's trying to upgrade his kernel, it sounds, not install a fresh Linux system.

You could grab a newer kernel... The latest stable is 2.4.18.
If you want the Mandrake RPM, you could either uninstall ncurses, then reinstall the old version, or use the "--oldpackage" flag.

See the man page for more info.

Please post back with any more questions.
