After i install cwm do i still have to do a kernal since the update heinz has a kernal in it? Can i use the updated cwm or do i need to find the 2.5 versions?

The new version on heinz. Version 5/7 will work in any cwm and the kenel is included. No need to flash kernel seperate.

[Q] Do I need to mess with my kernal?

You can tell this is a noob question. I will get my Gtab on Monday so I am doing my homework now. I plan on going with the Vegan rom. My question is what determines if you change to another kernal? Is it like the ROm you choose the kernal that gives you attributes you want? I think I can install the new ROM easily with all the great tutorials here but the kernal change has me worried. I have looked at several threads on how to install and it seems way over my head. If someone could please give me a quick and dirty on kernal stuff I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

download the kernel and then flash it like a rom. Its the adding of modules where you need to read. You may not need any of them so it would completely painless
Tks for the response thebadfrog. I guess I will continue to look for things to read up on it.

Hello and welcome to XDA...
First, I recommend reading the stickies posted in the forum and learning as much as you can about the inner-workings of the community... from there, things get easier.
Points of advice...
- Flashing Roms and Kernels can be as easy or as difficult as you want it to be... meaning, if you search the forum well and learn what you're doing, it becomes as simple as ever...
- Never flash anything without making a nandroid backup first... if you don't know what that means, use the search function for XDA and lookup "nandroid"
Lastly,
Most people are going to recommend you flash yourself Cyanogenmod 7. The latest stable build is RC1 and can be found here and other "usual places".
Once you flash CM7 (a "rom") then you can flash a Kernel if you want... I'd be willing to put my neck out and say that faux has the most reliable and most popular Kernel out right now in conjunction with CM7...
The best thing you can do for yourself is read... take the time to read as much as you can and answer your own questions slowly over time... there is no reason to go flashing away until you fully understand what it is that you are doing.
Hope that gets you started in the right direction... good luck and have fun!

So I just picked up an Asus EEE Transformer..

Running Android ICS 4.0.3 and Build Number IMLL74K.US_epad-9.2.1.21-20120413
Every method of rooting I find has nothing to do with ICS, could someone help me on my marry way, I would really appreciate it. I just want to do a basic root, so that I can maybe change the kernal and pep up the CPU a bit.
Help would be rewarded :-D
ViperMod in the Prime form works for all but the latest firmware otherwise you have to downgrade first
And for future reference search first and questions go in Q&A not themes and apps

Sorry about posting in the wrong forum, I should know better, but I have tried downgrading and it does not work, it seems like once you are on 4.0.3 you are stuck. I just tried this method right here and got nowhere, it says nothing about an update being available...

Thanks and I did thank you, I am trying this now, I am guessing I want ICS .11, since that one is still rootable. I am trying it now, I cant believe I got this it was already on 4.03. Why do people upgrade just to upgrade... jerks.
I will let you know how this goes.
I think .17 is rootable with ViperMod also or you could just do Wolf's method 3 which let you install the recovery blob via abd and flashing the su afterward with cwm
Yeah, I actually went with the .11 Blog backup, and then rooted it without any problem at all, now just what to do, what to do... I do appreciate everyone who helped out, thanks much.
