Could anyone please answer this one for me: are the kernels available in, say, the .../Kernel:/stable/standard repository specifically written to be used ONLY in openSUSE or can they be used in any other Linux distro? Any other distro.

They are for openSUSE

Now I am gonna confuse you more ;P ..Seriously, do not use openSUSE kernel packages in other distributions.

OK :-) . But isn't the kernel, the main stay of Linux, supposed to be "universal" and what someone adds to it is available to all?

But isn't the kernel, the main stay of Linux, supposed to be "universal" and what someone adds to it is available to all? "The kernel" as in "the one you can get from kernel.org": yes.

"The openSUSE kernel" may have special add-ons/features/config parameters that are specific to openSUSE. So there is a difference between the "vanilla" kernel (which is quite like the kernel.org one) and the openSUSE kernel as in /Kernel:/stable/standard.

Just my 2¢ Werner

Thanks, Werner. I would suspect that the config parameters would be the ones which would make the kernel openSUSE-specific otherwise the kernel would be more proprietary which is not what Linux is all about - I think :-) .

The kernel might work, however all the scripts we have in the rpm will not easily hook into other distributions. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ciao, Marcus Hi And if secure boot is enabled, the keys won't be available on another distribution...?

Thats really depends on what the other distribution does, but yes, secure boot is also an interesting thing. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
