An easier way to install 2.4.17 is grab the SuSE RPMs from the people/mantel directory on their ftp servers. Making backups, and installing the RPMs and running mk_initrd and lilo is relatively simple. (If you can't figure out what I just said, again, stick with your existing kernel - as uncool as it is to not be running the latest - until you can. I just told you everything you need to know.) You can get the more thoroughly tested 2.4.16 kernel at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.3/kernel It works with the latest nVidia 3d video drivers without having to recompile them, which might make your life a bit more complicated by making X crash on startup if you're running a later kernel without first recompiling them against the new kernel. -- What makes the universe so hard to comprehend is that there's nothing to compare it with.
