[SLE] What's the exact packages that I need for recompiling kernel

What exact packages I need for recompiling kernel? I have a 486 on a minimal install, and wish to have a specific kernel, cause it's going to be my firewall. Help is greatly appreciated I don't mind to be pointed to a site, cause I think this is rather a stupid question.

[SLE] NVIDIA GLX and Kernel module (beta) released.
by defiance＠cei.net 05 May '00

Greetz, people. I haven't seen this mentioned here yet, but I just checked the NVIDIA website, and as of yesterday, NVIDIA has released a beta XFree 4.0 GLX and Kernel module. (As a side note, I returned my system to 3.3.6 when I couldn't find drivers, but my shipment of 6.4 should be here in the next hour or two, anyway...) Point is, I'll do a fresh format and install tonight when I get home, and try out the new drivers. They are beta, but hey... At least it's something. I was **ALMOST** to the point of getting a V3 :) -- --Richard D.

I have my linux machine networked to a windows 95 and windows 98 and windows 2000 machines. Whenever I put in the ip address into the Internet explorer browser I get the webpage of my server. However, if I put in the servers name I get an error that says it can not be found. How do I fix this problem?

[SLE] SuSE 6.4 Reboot hang
by dhurst＠kennesaw.edu 04 May '00

04 May '00

After installing a clean install of 6.4 on a Dell Latitude CPt C333GT, I have found that the machine hangs upon reboot (not boot) with the last message being: "PCMCIA: using scheme: SuSE". The last successful operation is "Configuring serial ports (newline) ttyS0 at 0x03f8(irq=4) is a 16550A" with the green "done" out to the side. SuSE gives a red "failed" or a green "done" on the right side of the console as the machine is booting. This error I am seeing only happens on a warm reboot with or without a PCMCIA card inserted in the laptop. I did not experience this under 6.1 or after upgrading to 6.2. Using 2.2.14 with APM, PCMCIA, and USB modules but no SCSI. Any ideas on why this would happen? It is quite annoying! Thanks for your help!

We're talking file size limitations here, not partition size limitations. Ext2 is a 32bit file system on a 32 bit OS so the largest file size is 2GB. Other OSes such as FreeBSD and NT have 64bit file systems so you can store much larger files. The issue of whether Win9x can see the full size of a Samba share over 2GB is a different issue.
