As I wrote in my last email, there are several ways to deal with this problem. If you have to support many systems and not just your local desktop system, then the simplest way might be an RPM package that replaces the default usbcore.ko (from the SuSE kernel installation) with a new (your own) version that has USB_DEVICEFS enabled. This might minimize the possible side-effects as only a single file is changed. > [...] > I used to speak german. Would it be possible to have a link to this > how-to? Maybe we could write something to be put on the OpenSUSE wiki. This project started a long time ago when there were many questions on suse-linux (the German mailing list, now opensuse-de) concerning the SuSE kernel, kernel patches, recompiling a kernel, etc. As the "official" German kernel howto was (and still is: Linux Kernel HOWTO v0.80-3, 1. Juli 1998) out of date, I decided to write my own howto... I could have written this howto in English - however, many people on suse-linux mentioned that they have problems understanding technical literature in English, so I decided to write it in German (I think, there is quite a lot of kernel-related information available in English, at least concerning the Vanilla kernel; and there is the nice document "WORKING WITH THE SUSE 2.6.x KERNEL SOURCES" written by Andreas Gruenbacher, http://www.suse.de/~agruen/kernel-doc/, also part of the SuSE kernel sources: README.SUSE). Luigi di Lazzaro translated my little howto into Italian. To cut a long story short, here it is: http://www.thomashertweck.de/kernel26.html Cheers, Th. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
