What is happening is you have nother session of netscape running, if
you kill the server whout shuting down netscape before that, it
sometimes deletes the lock file from ./netscape - leaving the other one
running. When you run the next copy of it, the other proccess checks
the files once in a while - which touches the time/date stamps - and
causes the forground copy to reload the changes from disk.
Pop up an xterm with top running when you see this happen - you should
get more than two netscapes, usualy netscape has one forground process
and another running DNS lookups. So if you see one with lots of idle
time - that's the proccess you want to kill.
Or, just exit and do a 'killall netscape' that will fix it as well.

That's not the best option if your trying to keep RPMs because of
managing things.
The FAQ for updating kernel RPMs is usualy linked from the errata page
when the kernel comes out
Put simply - don't -Uvh the rpms, use -i as you did, what this does is
install it along side of your other kernel
and source tree.
The reason you still are booting .34 is lilo is still pointing to the
2.0.34 kernel. This is for good reason -
should you have mucked up the install for any reason - you still have a
good kernel image to boot with.
Go into lilo and add another entry, say 'newkernel' with the same
options as the current boot entry, change the image to the new 2.0.35
image and your good to go
Now, modules might break here, so before you do that, you need to
change the symbolic links for modules to the
2.0.35 dir tree rather than the current 2.0.34 tree so that your
modules don't break when you go in and recompile
your own 2.0.35 kernel.
Once you know everthing is working, you can -e the 2.0.34 kernel and
related kernel rpms, or just leave them
there. if you do a -q on kernel you will just see more than one entry
for each kernel you have on the system.
LILO is picking between them.
