I think I can stumble my way through upgrading my standard 6.3 Pentium kernel 2.2.13. But I have a few questions: 1) Does the SuSE kernel have special SuSE stuff in it or is it just a standard kernel built as SuSE thought would be a good general purpose kernel? 2) I'm looking to upgrade the kernel because of http://www.sendmail.org/sendmail.8.10.1.LINUX-SECURITY.txt. But how do I decide which kernel to download? Get the latest available, or just the one that fixes the bug? 3) If I'm just upgrading for a bug fix, should I just use `make oldconfig'? Or does it make sense to go through from the start and only select the hardware I'm using? 4) And if I do use `make oldconfig' it looks like with 6.3 I must get the config off the cdrom (that is, I can't use `make cloneconfig'). Is that correct? 5) I have a P133 and PIII 550. Any reason I can't build the kernel on one and use it on the other machine?
