Hmmm so what do people do when they need a newer kernel (assuming they are not knowledgeable enough to manage compiling their own kernel)? Do they have to wait on the next openSUSE release?
If I just answer your question, it's yes, you have to wait. Because there is no other way to change a kernel than to compile it... kernel are updated (without compile) by the openSUSE devs from time to time, I actually have this one: 2.6.22.17-0.1-default However, I will try to answer your real problem :-), saying than on an entirely new install, I don't see any reason not to use the very last kernel. compiling a stock kernel (from kernel.org) is usually the easier thing to do because: * kernel have no dependency * the install is new. if ever it don't works, nothing's broken... according to the kernel README itself, you will have To configure and build the kernel use: cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.N make O=/home/name/build/kernel menuconfig make O=/home/name/build/kernel sudo make O=/home/name/build/kernel modules_install install and that's all jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://clairedodin.voices.com/ http://www.clairedodin.com/ http://claire.dodin.net/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
