Could anyone please answer this one for me: are the kernels available in, say, the .../Kernel:/stable/standard repository specifically written to be used ONLY in openSUSE or can they be used in any other Linux distro?

BC

They are for openSUSE

Now this has me all confu-sed :-) . One says for all, one says only for oS :-) . Do we take this to a vote?8-) .

Now I am gonna confuse you more ;P ..Seriously, do not use openSUSE kernel packages in other distributions.

OK :-) .

But isn't the kernel, the main stay of Linux, supposed to be "universal" and what someone adds to it is available to all?

The kernel might work, however all the scripts we have in the rpm will not easily hook into other distributions.

Ciao, Marcus Hi And if secure boot is enabled, the keys won't be available on another distribution...?
