        I don't know how to do it in Yast anymore. Yast changed between
opensuse 10.0 and 10.3. The good responses I have obtained from the list
suggest a manual download of the kernels and patches and then installing
from the command line with "rpm -ivh" Evidently, as you have found, you
can do it with smart. However, I have never used smart, so I can't speak
to it.


        See my earlier post of "HowTo Install New 2.6.23.1-900.ccj58-default
kernel and SAVE my present one too" Good luck.
