Hello,
The lx_suse is the source kernel rpm. When you
install it :
rpm --nodeps --fors -iU ls_suse.rpm
It will move your /usr/src/linux to
/usr/src/2.2.14-whatever, and then install a 2.2.16
directory linked to /usr/src/linux.
Then, to use the kernel, you have to compile it, same
as any new kernel. Please read the SuSE
documentation, and make sure you have backed up the
old kernel, and even made a boot disk before you go
any further.
You also may want to just download the binary kernel
to make things easy on yourself. I did that one too,
and it was quite painles.
Good luck,
Ron

hi all
i've downloaded kernel 2.2.16 as well as lx_suse.rpm.
when i tried to install lx_suse by : %rpm -i lx_suse.rpm an error appeared: file /usr/src/linux from install of lx_suse-2.2.16.SuSE-8 confilect with file from package lx_suse-2.2.14.SuSE-12.
so what i did was i proceeded to uncompressed the kernel. much surprisingly this time i can't do that! i've tried with: %tar -xzvf linux-2.2.14.tar.gz & it says: gzip:stdin: not in gzip format tar:Child returned status 1 tar:Error exit delayed from previous errors ..i've tried bzip2,gunzip,unzip=just to try my luck,but it didn't work.
what's happening? after the error messages, i used the tar method to 'untar' 2 other programs which i've downloaded, everything works fine here.
p.s. i'm currently using suse6.4,kernel2.2.14...there were some error with the patch file for 2.2.16 that i've downloaded & i thought the entire kernel download would at least give me less problem;-)
pls help, i've spend approx 2 weeks/> now to download the above two files. btw,lateron when i recompile & reinstall the new kernel,everything(e.g. apache,sendmail,samba etc) in my suse wouldn't have to b configured right?
thanks a lot for your help. tk
