Well, writing this howto in German was intentional. Usually, you find quite a lot of information about the kernel in English but only few "readable"[*] documentation in German. Many people on the German suse-linux list complained about this fact, so I decided in 2002 to write an up-to-date kernel howto in German. In principle, I could translate it but, well, it's a lot of work and I am not sure whether it's worth doing. As mentioned above, there is quite a lot of stuff available in English - it's maybe not SuSE-specific. However, for the SuSE-specific part you can always refer to Andreas Gruenbacher's documentation which is included in the SuSE kernel sources.
[...] The only thing I haven't figured out at this point is why the previous discussion talked about make modules and make modules_install but didn't seem to cover building the kernel. Did I miss something there? Was Randall intending to build only the modules?
Yes, the discussion was about re-enabling USB_DEVICEFS which had been disabled in the SuSE 10.2 standard kernel at that time. USB_DEVICEFS can be enabled by recompiling the usbcore module, so we focused on modules, not on building a complete kernel. Regards, Th. [*]"readable" in this context means: the documentation is not simplistic but also not too complex and technical; it should focus on the practical aspects a user is interested in... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
