HI I would like to try and upgrade the kernel from 2.2.13 to 2.2.14, but what is the difference between the patches 2.2.14bz2 and 2.2.14qz, are they just different zip formats, or is it something else? thanks Paul -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

If that's gz then yes. bz2 is bzip2 gz is gzip. Also if you want just the patches you need to download the patches. The full kernel src is 10-14 meg depending on if it's bzip2 [10meg] or gz [bigger] Nick -- -------------------------------------------------- Nick Zentena "Microsoft has unjustifiably jeopardized the stability and security of the operating system."

Different compression formats. gz is GNU zip and uses Lempel-Ziv compression.
