Hi tk an friends all, A nice place also to download and browse Linux Kernel sources is: "Kernel ORG UK Mirror Service" at: http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ They serve HTML, and you can search and browse on- line tar, gz, and bz2 content. Although you can download the hole, or any individual file. Latest Kernel on the development branch (not stable yet) is: "LATEST-IS-2.4.0-test6" as of 09-Aug-2000, as you can see at: http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/ They got a very easy and cool interface, test it. RECOMMENDED. Do not use anything other than SuSE's Kernels, if you use the distro. Read about it in SuSE's SDB "SDB: Search results KERNEL" at: http://sdb.suse.de/cgi-bin/sdbsearch_en.cgi?stichwort=kernel&searchtype=and They include a lot of help, and info on their customizations. For detailed Kernel compilation needs you must refer to your SuSE distro book, or download it's PDF file from: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/6.4/docu/ book-en.pdf if you got SuSE 6.4 or search on it's tree. ---- tk dev wrote:

hi all

i've read that there's a security problem with kernel b4 2.2.16- i'm using suse 6.4 with kernel 2.2.14.

my ques is if i recompile my kernel to 2.2.16, do i have to reinstall all the other programs e.g. perl, etc & reconfigure everything-eg. my apache server, inetd.conf??

btw, where do i get kernel 2.2.16?

would appreciate your help. thanks a lot. tk
