If you have any thought of updating between kernel versions by patching then altering the Makefile yourself is a bad idea. The reason is that any patch you get from kernel.org will itslef alter the Makefile in the vicinity of where EXTRAVERSION is and if you've changed it, the patch will fail. I prefer "make EXTRAVERSION=SuSE-SMP ..." If you use the vendor's source then there won't be a problem while you update source by downloading the latest rpm(s) and installing those. Remember though that is still is't an especially good habit because it is likely to bite you. -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Note: mail delivered to me is deemed to be intended for me, for my disposition. ============================== If you don't like being told you're wrong, be right!
