Not if Xandros has a later kernel available. I don't know how Xandros
does it, but you might see if you have Synaptic installed. If so, check
and see if a later kernel is available. But if it recommends something
later than you have, you'll have to upgrade.

There are several ways to do this, depending on the tools you're used
to. But simplest is probably to go to a console or xterm and type:
ls -l /lib/modules/VERSION/build
(replacing VERSION with your kernel version). This should show you if it
exists, if it's a symlink, and if the link is set to the proper
directory.
