[ltp] up2date (RH) and updating the kernel

[Hartwig, Thomas]

Hi Otis,

at first there is no danger with it, your old kernel and boot manager 
will be saved if you use "up2date -f". But I would not advice to do so, 
because you need to compile a kernel by your own to get the best out of 
your T40. The standard kernel is not the best choice, please look to the 
mailing list archive for earlier discussions or the web pages lurking 
around.

Greetings
Thomas
