hi all i've downloaded kernel 2.2.16 as well as lx_suse.rpm. when i tried to install lx_suse by : %rpm -i lx_suse.rpm an error appeared: file /usr/src/linux from install of lx_suse-2.2.16.SuSE-8 confilect with file from package lx_suse-2.2.14.SuSE-12. o what i did was i proceeded to uncompressed the kernel. much surprisingly this time i can't do that! i've tried with: %tar -xzvf linux-2.2.14.tar.gz & it says: gzip:stdin: not in gzip format tar:Child returned status 1 tar:Error exit delayed from previous errors ..i've tried bzip2,gunzip,unzip=just to try my luck,but it didn't work. what's happening? after the error messages, i used the tar method to 'untar' 2 other programs which i've downloaded, everything works fine here. p.s. i'm currently using suse6.4,kernel2.2.14...there were some error with the patch file for 2.2.16 that i've downloaded & i thought the entire kernel download would at least give me less problem;-) pls help, i've spend approx 2 weeks/> now to download the above two files. btw,lateron when i recompile & reinstall the new kernel,everything(e.g. apache,sendmail,samba etc) in my suse wouldn't have to b configured right? thanks a lot for your help. tk ===== 0Oo~~:o) Smile!
