Guys,

This is just looking for a generic difference. What does the desktop kernel provide that the default or pae doesn't or vice versa?

look at /boot/config*

This will allow you to analyze kernels.

The answer I was looking for doesn't presuppose I already have them both installed...

Hello Wiki-List,

I think it would be grate [great] if there would be an article about the kernel and especially the varieties in openSUSE and some (external) links to further information.

I may be able to deliver something like a stub or be used as a dummy to test if a real article is easy to understand but I do think it would be a good idea if someone else/some other people would do the real work - some people how do really now how the kernel works and how making the kernel (technically and socially) works...

The list of modules - and therefore the hardware support - should be the same with the noted exception that some old cpus will only work with kernel- default,

Is there a list of these? Or is it that the Desktop only supports i686 and up and the default will run on 586(like the K6s that seem to be classed as 586 by some)? Thanx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
