Back when I was trying to get this new machine up and running, I needed the latest kernel from the kernel repository in order for my wireless card to get going. Someone suggested that I add the kernel repository, which I did and have in my list of repos now:
7 | kernel_stable | kernel_stable | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/
So I am wondering - is there any advantage to keeping the kernel repository in my list of active repositories now? I have never had to do that on any of my other machines, and only did a kernel update when it came through the regular repositories.
Is there any disadvantage to keeping the kernel repository? Should I disable it? I am interested to know people's opinions on this.
I do but I don't accept every update.
I wish there was a better feed, one that covered the 4th and 5th digit changes.
Currently there is 4.5.2-2.1.g0454a6e.x86_64.rpm How is that different from the 4.5.0-10.gb98c3d3 that I'm running?
In fact how would it be different from a 4.5.2-1.0 ?
