Now to make my life easier I still like to know if I can dare to use the generic win4lin 2.6.x kernels instead of the SuSE one, or if I will run into big problems. Can you help me with that?
Thanks, Matt
You can *ALWAYS* add a new kernel to your system without making the old one unusable. I have a 9.1 machine here and as soon as I got 9.1 installed, I switched over to using a vanilla 2.6.6 kernel. But the original kernel from SuSE is still there and I can (and have) booted it to compare things.
So it seems to be working fine for you, Bruce. Good!
So stop asking the question, and just do it. Get the win4lin kernel and install it alongside your normal kernel and see whether it works for you.
Please forgive me, I still have a lot of respect of touching the kernel - may be too much ;-) However after your encouragement I understand that I can try it without risking too much, thanks! (There is however still this voice in me asking what SuSE did do to the kernel...) Regards, Matt
