OK, I understood that netraverse is not making dist-specific kernels anymore, 
so there is no win4lin kernel for suse 9.1. Instead netraverse says to use 
the generic 2.6.x kernel they provide. I read also some reports that it would 
work fine.

My question now is: What will not work anymore / what will I be missing if I 
replace my SuSE kernel with the win4lin generic 2.6.x kernel?

I can't imagine that SuSE does all that work to customize the kernel and then 
it will be the same to use the generic one.

And then the next question is if it works fine to install both kernels, using 
grub to boot the one or the other, depending if I need to run one of these 
old legacy windose apps... if yes, is there a kernel 2.6 specific howto 
somewhere?

Thanks,
Matt
