I am new to Linux, about 1 week new. I purchased The SuSE Linux 6.0, and have installed it, and after many man pages, and How-To's I have got almost everything working. But I have a question? I downloaded the new Kernal 2.2.2 of the SuSE web site, but do not know how to go about installting it. I have learned how to compile the kernal, as I have done it at least 25 times in the last week! But I do not know how to upgrade one.

1. Install the 2.2.4 kernel rather than the 2.2.2 version 2. Uncompress the file you've d/loaded in a temporary folder, rename the "linux" folder to "linux-2.2.x", then move the whole linux-kernel tree to /usr/src/ 3. delete the link "linux" and make a new one that has "linux-2.2.x" as target 4. do the following: cd /usr/include rm -rf asm linux scsi ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386 asm ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux linux ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/scsi scsi make mrproper 5. and then, as usual, make menuconfig, make dep clean zImage (or rather bzImage) modules modules_install zdisk ................ This is a very safe way, because you keep your old 2.0.36 kernel in case something goes wrong -- 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>>
