Download the package and install it using rpm, the new kernel will add a default new entry in the grub config. If all works, you can remove the old one using the same command.
OK, that sounds like a much better idea!
Or use yum till you have openSUSE 11.1 and newer systems with a fast zypper running. See http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2008-10/msg01342.html for a bit more background on yum or zypper.
How do I figure out exactly which RPM I need to download from http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/?
a) "uname -a" displays the running kernel flavor (default,smp,bigsmp) and architecture (i586,x86_64,ppc). b) The version is currently 2.6.22.19-0.1 independent of the actual used CPU architecture. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
