Though files are used to check against what you have installed.

If your were to click up a terminal
su - root
urpmi --update kernel

it should give you a list of new kernels to choose from in the event
urpmi has found a difference of kernel version.

All I want is the Mandriva Linux 2007 kernel source in order for the
NVIDIA driver can make and install itself. That way, I can have full 3D
desktop effects. Right now, I can't.

I think this would be better for the OP:

urpmi kernel-source

Or, the OP could use the GUI for installing new software and choose
"kernel-source" to install.

HTH....
