Right, but the whole point of this thread is supposed to be helping somebody who IS running the normal distribution stuff.
It's NOT supposed to be bragging about how your kernels are bigger and better than everybody else who has non-default (who all seem to be doing the same bragging, I hasten to add).
As i say, i don't think patching the distribution disk's kernel is a strategy that gives me the control I want.
That the /etc/zypp/zypp.conf file provides the capability to support multiple version of the kernel OUT OF THE BOX.
All I've done is set it to accommodate a specific span.
So what you are asking for is 'install and don't change anything'. Don't alter any of the *.conf files, don't add extra repositories. Ultimately this also means don't use zypper or its GUI equivalent in YaST to update anything. !BOGUS! As I said, claiming that the kernel with the of the one in the distribution is meaningless if patches have been applied to it by the regular update process. At least I'm being honest by admitting that kernel to which update changes are applied is a new, a different kernel and should be recognised as such by renumbering. The only 'bigger' kernels under discussion are those that are bigger because they have the extra mkiss module file. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
