Could someone help me out with a kernel?

Could you walk me through changing a kernel? I know which one I want, I have it downloaded in the zip file on the computer. I know I am supposed to go to clockwork recovery screen, but from there I am lost. Do I need to do a wipe before I upload this?

No need to wipe before loading a Kernel. Just load it onto your micro-sd card, and within Clockwork Recovery, select "install zip from sdcard" then "Choose zip from sdcard" then browse for where you stored it.

You actually should wipe the dalvik cache before flashing a kernel. This option is located in the advanced menu on clockwork recovery

Just curious: how does that help / what does that do for us?

Not sure exactly. I'm still fairly new to this. I've just read in several posts that not wiping it before flashing a new kernel can cause problems
