In my view, you should go straight to kernel.org and get their files and do the kernel from scratch. Much better-er.
Why? What's in the vanilla kernel that makes it better? Or perhaps what's in the SuSE kernel that makes it worse?

1) You get all the pieces. This is about the 5th response I've given to people who can't make things work with the SuSE pieces. (headers missing, etc) 2) You can compile it with your own choice of options. 3) Learn by doing. Suit yourself. I'd rather be in control of the kernel I use... and also be able to backtrack when I farkle something. I have read here of too many people who 'plug in' the new kernel from SuSE and things die with no easy method of retreat. Just my opinion and way of doing things. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
