Hello.. I'm trying to figure out how to build a binary kernel RPM in Suse, so I want to use this new binary RPM on another machines instead of re-compiling for every machine. (of course in same type) ( It looks like I need to use kernel-source.src.rpm and k_*.src.rpm..) I'm familiar with how Red Hat does for binary kernel RPMs, and I have not yet figured out the way in SuSE. Is there are any document for this stuff? ( It's not easy to find the right information :-( ) - jason

hi.. I guess my question was unclear enough. I want to build binary kernel rpm for executable kernel, not for the source. So I can upgrade kernel by installing this new kernel rpm on another machine. Thanks Jason On Tue, 2004-01-27 at 20:31, Curtis Rey wrote:
