I too want to try the 2.6 kernel on my SUSE 9.0 installation.  Having
never compiled a kernel before, would it be possible for someone to post
a 'walk through' as to the steps as to how to best do this in SUSE?  For
example, let's say I download a kernel from kernel.org (my machine is a
P4 2.8MHz).  Which kernel (preferably 2.6.3 variety) should I grab and
what commands should I use to compile it for my box?  I understand that
the 'how' has changed somewhat since the 2.4 kernels.  I'd like to have
the stock 2.4.21 kernel available in case something goes wrong.

I know it's asking a lot, but I'd really like to learn how to do this
without messing up my only machine.

Thanks a lot!
