1. As root, open a virtual console or xterm.

2. Give the commands 

cd /usr/src/linux;make cloneconfig; make menuconfig
 
3. In the menu-based program you're in go to ”File systems”

4. Choose support for the additional file-systems you want.

5. While you're at it take a look at other options. You might want to 
change
some other things, such as ”Processor type and features” for example.

6. When you're done, choose Exit at the bottom line

7. Answer yes to the question wether you want to save the kernel 
configuration

8. Give the following commands 

make dep clean modules modules_install bzlilo; init 6

Take a cup of coffee. When the computer reboots your new kernel is 
loaded.
This is one way of configuring and compiling the kernel. There are 
others.
This requires that you have the kernel sources, which you might not have 
since you installed from
the ISO-file.
You can download the sources, but if you want to do more than just try 
LINUX out
i recommend that you buy a full distribution. It's definitely worth it.
If yast is included in the ISOimage you can fire it up thus:
yast --mask install
and then choose ”Install packages”, source ”FTP”. This will take you
(if you have an internet connection) to SuSe's update site.
You have a choice of two kernels - 2.2.14 and 2.2.16. The sources are 
called lx-suse-something.
Best regards
