According question that kernel is available to anonymous user. You can directly install from the ftp
server using rpm command.
When you install the kernel, it will write on /etc/grub.conf file. You can set the default kernel by
changing the default value. See on the output of /etc/grub.conf file that new kernel is on first title
so it’s index is 0 and previous kernel’s index is 1.
