[SLE] kernel problem again!
hi all i've successfully forced lx_suse to be installed(thanks to some of your advice), but my kernel just refused to be untared. i've read the README file in linux-2.2.16.SuSE ( generated by lx_suse.rpm). since i've downloaded the whole kernel, i followed exactly what it says : cd /usr/src #yep my new kernel is there gzip -cd linux-2.2.16.tar.gz|tar xfv - ...to which the same error appeared: linux-2.2.16.tar.gz:not ingzip format? how should i rectify it? p.s. version of gzip 1.2.4-150 (suse6.4,kernel2.2.14) hope to hear from u & thanks in advance for your help. tk ===== 0Oo~~:o) Smile!

Have you checked that this file linux-2.2.16.tar.gz is really a gzipped tar archive with 'file linux-2.2.16.tar.gz'? If that don't tells you this is a gzipped tar archive, maybe you downloaded a corrupted rpm.
