Morning Everyone: Still playing around with SuSE 6.4. I installed SuSE for the first time the other day, and am impressed so far. Having come from a Red Hat background, where a lot of stuff was done "behind the scenes", I actually find that I like SuSE for making me get in there and learn what needs to be done to get my system set up. I apologize for the newbie question, but am looking at recompiling the kernel. I did a bare bones install, and managed to get it to about 100 packages that need to be installed. I wanted to go and recompile the kernel, take advantage of pentium processor, etc. I looked in the /usr/src/linux directory, and saw no source code there. I'm assuming that it is probably (hopefully) included in another RPM, but am having a devil of time finding the right one to install. Also having to learn my way around a new system at the same time isn't making it any easier :) Can anyone point me in the direction to finding the kernel-source rpm and getting it installed? Am I incorrect in that if I install the kernel rpm, I should be getting everything, including the source? I know the kernel rpm looked to small for that, but .... - Mike -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
I have Suse 6.3 and kernel source is in lxinclude ( I think so anyway). If you look at the package list in develop and you should find pretty soon the correct rpm. It installs the complete kernel source. Hope it'll be useful.

Afternoon: First of all, thanks to all the folks who responded. It's much appreciated. :) I did an: rpm -qpi lx_suse.rpm and I saw comments about in the description about this being a modified source. Specifically, it said: Description : Kernel sources with the following modifications: - new aic7xxx driver 5.1.22 - internationalized kernel config - updated network drivers - driver for DAC960 and Compaq SMART2 RAID Now, I don't mind having the updated stuff, but what concerns me is the line where it mentions Internationalized Kernel Config. Does this simply mean this is the way SuSE ships it, and I can set it back to a default by just doing make mrproper and then make config? - Mike On Sun, 21 May 2000, Togan Muftuoglu wrote:

Afternoon: Actually, gonna respond to my own question :) I did a little more digging, and in the linclude rpm, it specifically mentions that if I installed linclude, I should install the linux.rpm file from the d2 directory for the rest of the kernel source. I did this, and it looks like I do have the source installed now. I originally selected the unmodified kernel source when I first installed SuSE. Again, thanks to everyone for the pointers in the right direction. :) - Mike On Sun, 21 May 2000, Michael J. McGillick wrote:

I believe it's called lx_suse, but if you use YaST and do a search for "kernel" you will find additional kernel rpms, e.g., "linux", "lx_old", "lx_hack" (press F2 for a description) Hope it helps, Alvaro
