I too would be very interested in a talk on kernel compiling. And

more confidence to try myself.
IMHO stick to your distro's packages.
SUSE 9.1? ( if not then please excuse my erratic memory ) 3.4.2 is
available from
ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/yast-source
There's probably a much better way of doing this but I added it as a
source via YAST -> Change Source of Installation -> Add
Next: YAST -> Install and Remove software, chang the drop down to
"Package Groups", scroll to the bottom of the left hand list, select
"zzz All" or go into GUI -> KDE depending on how brave you feel* ;o)
Right click on the right hand window and select All in this list ->
Update if newer version available. check for dependencies, accept and
off it goes - definitely an overnighter on a modem. It complains about
Comix every time I run it so I've left that out of date, not a problem
for me.
3.4.2 is working very well here, I remember being impressed when I
upgraded from what ever I used to have so it must be better :) I had a
few minor issues with the previous incarnation but this is working
flawlessly and is entirely crash free so far, ymmv ;)
cheers

*It may not make much difference for you, but I also have
ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/9.1/ in the sources list,
which may be where the Comix clash is coming from...
