Install new or later kernel as one running

Hi, I am a bit new to suse...using version 9.0. Ok what I am used to in MDK when new or later precompiled kernel become available you can install it directly with MCC or rpm or urpmi and it creates a new directory and write to bootloader..reboot...pick new kernel and go. How can this be done in Suse 9.0 if/when new/later kernel become available. Is it precompiled or whatever. Some input here would be appreciated.
