Hi all,

A few weeks ago I bought SuSE linux 6.1 with kernel 2.2.5. How do I upgrade to a higher kernel? (there seems to be a 2.2.9 kernel). I'm a newbie. So a. Where to get the updates? b. How to upgrade? (using YaST or install or ....)

Go to <A HREF="ftp://ftp.nl.kernel.org"><A HREF="ftp://ftp.nl.kernel.org</A">ftp://ftp.nl.kernel.org</A</A>> (Since your country code is nl) Download the tar.gz archive Use mc to read the documentation in the archive before installing: README and INSTALL especially, these will tell you how to proceed. However, there are some considerations to take care of first. a: Is there a bug in the kernel you have now? b: Is there a feature you need in the latest kernel? If you answer to both is no, you do not need to upgrade. Of course, you might choose to do it anyway just for the fun of it. ;-) Good luck and have plenty of fun. -- Regards Med venlig hilsen Ole Kofoed Hansen <A HREF="mailto:k01164@ko.sdu.dk">mailto:k01164@ko.sdu.dk</A> ICQ-UIN: 25773325 -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
