Thanks SuSE, more correctly thanks Roman and the Other Developers - this is by far one of the biggest steps towards end users I have seen in the linux world in a couple of years, in fact our own sysadmins did not even like doing kernel updates / upgrades and now they don't have to YaST will do it for them. THANKS AGAIN SuSE once again _YOU_(pun intended) have shown how much you rule!!! Roman Drahtmueller wrote:

Hi,
this is a brief heads-up concerning kernel updates: SuSE Linux 8.1 and 8.2 will have kernel-updates within the next few minutes (maybe an hour) on the ftp server in the directories known for regular updates.
These updates are the first kernel updates that are installable via YOU.
SuSE Linux 8.0 has a small bug in Yast2 that causes some information in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader to be unreliable after installation. This information cannot be retrieved from the system, and manual interaction might be necessary. By consequence, it is not reliable enough to provide kernel updates for this distribution.
I will create directories in the kernel directory in /pub/suse/i386/update/* with appropriate notices/READMEs there.
The updates for 7.2 and 7.3 are still about to be built and tested right now. Some userspace update packages are necessary for these distributions. We will publish an announcement as soon as all update packages are available.
Thanks, Roman. - -- - - | Roman Drahtmüller
