[SuSE Linux] Kernel
by crumb＠midwest.net 28 Jan '99

I need a little clairification on this kernel 2.2 thing. If I buy SuSE 6.0 with, presumably kernel 2.0.36, then want to upgrade to 2.2 (whatever), would I have to download each patch from 2.0.37, 38, etc to 2.2, or just one patch, then recompile (a process I've never had the best of luck with). Also, what is in 2.2 that would make me WANT to recompile? Anybody know? Just curious. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] SuSE 6.0 (Again) :)
by ren＠ssm.ca 28 Jan '99

28 Jan '99

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone been gracious enough to "mirror" SuSE 6.0 for us lonely modem users? I'm too impatient to wait for the CD's and the SuSE mirrors are a little lagged it seems. :) Or perhaps someone can tell me when the CD's are going to be shipped so I can simply buy it instead. I really want to use the new kernel but don't wanna upgrade all the libs on my box. A reinstall is easier for me. :) Thanks.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ren West</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ren(a)ssm.ca</FONT></DIV>

[SuSE Linux] 6.1

In > order to have a kernel that works for anyone, we will need some 2.2.x, where x is some number != 0. I agree with you wholeheartedly. The release of 2.2 is too close to 6.0. However, I hope that the next release will not be six months away, as was the case with coming from 5.3 to 6.0. I appreciate that going to glibc is a big thing, so I hope that next time will be easier - I can already see three 'biggies' that is knocking on the door: Samba 2.0 with native NT domain support Linux Kernel 2.2 - when it settles down.

Re: [SuSE Linux] Kernel 2.2

Personally, if the process is so easy, I would prefer that they drop in the source tree, make the changes and compile it. THEN, release it. Since the 2.2 kernel is already out, and the process is so easy, how much longer would it take? Three or four hours, tops? Why make everyone else do that step? Who knows how many newbies and near-newbies mess it up, then generate a lot of complaints about SuSE, which I find to be an excellent example of German engineering.

[SuSE Linux] KDE 1.1pre2 for SuSE?
by Martijn.van.den.Burg＠asml.nl 28 Jan '99

28 Jan '99

Hi, Today, RedHat made available a package of KDE 1.1pre2 RPMs on their ftp site. Any chance of SuSE doing the same, i.e. making available the latest & greatest version of _the_ nicest desktop environment (no invitation to flames <g>) in pre-compiled RPMs? I am sure many SuSE users would greatly appreciate this.
