Hi,
Your message triggered a question which came long ago to my
mind. Maybe someone can answer it here (hopefully :)
How can one get the exact SuSE kernel recompiled?
Imagine one has installed a SuSE Linux (whatever version), with
certain out-of-box kernel. Now I'd like to have the kernel
recompiled, without any changes. I want to get an identical copy
(in functionality, of course, not binary copy :) of the running
kernel. Which packages has one to install? What steps one has to
perform? How much different kernels shipped
(i386,i586,i686,athlon) differ?
I think this is a valid question, since if you need to
add/remove something to the running kernel, you're never sure
that the one change you made to the sources you had is actually
the one and only difference you'll get at the end.
Cheers
Ed

Hi There,
has anyone tried to use NAT-T with SuSE 8.2????
They compiled the NAT-T support into freeS/WAN, but not into the kernel... well, that's ok for me but trying to patch the SuSE-provided kernel-sources turned out that in
kernel-source-2.4.20.SuSE-62.rpm
there is no support for IPSEC anywhere...
that leaves me with a big ?
What am I supposed to patch? According to /usr/share/doc/packages/freeswan/README.SuSE I should patch the kernel... nice but which one - a vanilla kernel, so that all the other nice patches SuSE has put into the kernel are gone and most stuff stops working... or the kernelbinaries... (I suppose not...)
Any ideas? Would be soooooo cool if someone could help (I'm now getting into the n-th week of trying to get that VPN-stuff working properly - I think I could write a book about VPN by now...)
1000 thanks for any input that gets me closer to the solution and almost as many for the other answers ;)))
Cheers, Arndt
