I'm installing VPN.
One of the questions the installation procedure is asking me is :
"Directory containing linux kernel source code "
It has no degfault for that.
I have NO idea where SuSE 8.2 stores linux kernel source code ...
All versions of Linux install the kernel source code in /usr/src/linux
where linux is a symlink to the current kernel source, eg:

If you have installed the kernel source, you cd into that directory.
read the README. There are several make options. You perform a
"make cloneconfig" to set the configuration to the current system you
are running.
make xconfig - This allows you to alter the configuration using X
make menuconfig - same except it is for a text based menu
make config - text based.
Once you have done that then you should be ready to build the kernel. I
used to do this every time I installed a new release for performance,
but I found that the generic kernels have performed well for me lately,
so I have been lazy. I usually set most everything to modules that I
can.
