I am having trouble with my Suse 8.0 install. I like to compile my own kernels and need the files that are required for this. When installing I was offered a basic software setup along with what I thought was kernel sources. At least I clicked for the sources to be installed. But afterward I could only find "packages" under /usr/src. I tried to install kernel sources with yast2. I found the k-smp kernel was installed. I found kernel sources under Devel kernel. This installed make gcc etc. But it shows 2.4.18-64GB. as the kernel. Mine is smp. When I did make menuconfig it says ncurses is not installed. Yast 2 shows ncurses is installed. Confused Brian Marr

You need to install the 'kernel-source' package. SMP is a configurable option when you compile your kernel so you surely don't have a kernel_smp-source package ! And you need to install the 'ncurses-devel' package. Everytime you need to solve some depencies problems for sources compilation look at the many 'devel' packages available !
Confused
Hope it helps.

What also needs mentioning are the km_ packages. Those are drivers which are not part of the kernel (ALSA, Free S/Wan etc.). Anyone compiling his/her your own kernel should also recompile those km_ packages which (s)he needs.
