Great! Only how do I let the package manager know that I want to install a different version? # zypper in kernel-source gives me: "skipping package 'kernel-source' (already installed) Nothing to do."

Fortunately I can specify a version smart, however I am still trying to find out how to do the same in zypper/yast2.

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. -- David C.
