Very interesting. Just downloaded one of the latest stable kernel and it is a first time that I got a complete download in a reasonable time. But being a kernel which is not offered in You I assume that Yast will not install it automatically. Think Kpackage will have to do. The script is absolutely fantastic.
Thanks! But, if you picked it from where I said, for SuSE 8.2, or the equivalent path for SuSE 9.0 if you have it, yes, YOU will install it happily. You just have to copy it to the same place where the YOU download process would copy it, which is: /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586/ for SuSE 8.2 By the way, to know where to find the ftp path, reading the last file (after firing YOU, seeing there is a kernel waiting, and aborting) helps: /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/8.2/patches/kernel-* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3422 Jan 10 00:36 kernel-51197 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6137 Feb 21 01:52 kernel-51254 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4712 Mar 19 00:31 kernel-51297 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4618 Jul 14 2003 kernel-source-36073 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3898 Sep 11 2003 kernel-source-41559 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2339 Dec 5 02:05 kernel-source-51177 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1996 Jan 10 00:36 kernel-source-51199 So, the last patch was kernel-51297; I read the file, and see: k_deflt BuiltFrom: k_deflt-2.4.20-108.src.rpm Version: 2.4.20-108 ## -----> kernel-source <----- Filename: kernel-source.rpm BuiltFrom: kernel-source-2.4.20.SuSE-108.src.rpm Version: 2.4.20.SuSE-108 So I had to download release -108 -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
