this is a brief heads-up concerning kernel updates: SuSE Linux 8.1 and 8.2 will have kernel-updates within the next few minutes (maybe an hour) on the ftp server in the directories known for regular updates.
These updates are the first kernel updates that are installable via YOU.
Does it work already? Where is the kernel for 8.2 located?
I didn't find a kernel in one of the subdirs of /pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm nor did I find a kernel with a Yast Online Update.
Not yet... I was a little too fast. 8.2 kernels are about to be synced to the ftp servers, but the 8.1 kernels had a little defect that needs to be cured. To get that right: the kernels work, but there is a missing part that enables the you automatics. We'll have to fix this, as I don't want to publish an update that doesn't work (who wants that...). Well, anyway, the 8.1 kernels are available for (manual) download on ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/kernel/2.4.19-20030618/ the ones for 8.2 are in ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/kernel/2.4.20-20030618/. Not that much of a surprise, but the updates for 8.2 in the directory above are hardlinks with the files that are loaded via Yast Online Update. The directories will be visible shortly... Please be patient. Roman.
