hey oldcpu,

you stated my kernel was a bit older and needed upgrading. i have no problem with doing this update but i don't know how to do it. how is this done? tutorial link anywhere? is there any reason why i can't go to kernel.org and download the latest stable kernel and use that one or do i have to do something more specific for opensuse 10.3? can you do it through yast? i looked around yast but i did not see anything specific for kernel updates.

and even if i did go to kernel.org and download the latest stable kernel, i would not necessarily know what to do with the downloaded file. i have not had much luck installing separate rpm files or anything else. this is one of the things that i totally hate with linux. it is not obvious to me how to do things like this. once i do it a couple times i am sure that it will be easier. no matter how i update the kernel, i need a step by step guide.



i have looked around this forum site but i did not find anything on how to update the kernel. it probably is here but i just don't know where.
