When I was testing 2.4.x in my 7.0 system I only had to update the modutils package, just installed it on top of the existing ones. PPP should also be updated if you use it get to the internet.
I did not mess with util-linux. It seems that those utilities are in the 'util' suse package. Take a look at what those utilities are. Unless you know what you are doing and have a way to back out in case of problems, I'd suggest you to go slow. Mainly, make sure that the new utilities install in the same location as the suse ones.
It would be best if you upgraded to suse 7.1.

Yes that would be the best thing to do. 7.1 is GOOD. Just make sure you read the Changes file in /usr/src/linux/Documentation and install every revision of everything it says and you'll be fine. I did it on 7.0 and there was quite a bit to get. Util-linux being one of them if I remember correctly. Of coarse for EVERY thing you need to install be sure to READ all the readmes and INSTALL files. READ READ READ ...... Mark
