So there is NO (update-)repository that allows me to use 2.6.23? OK. This brings me to another question on compiling the kernel myself: Some people talk about the SUSE-common method of installing a self-compiled kernel by first creating an RPM. Are there any howtos describing this method for OpenSUSE 10.3? I found a lot on self-compiling, but nothing on this first-make-a-RPM method. Another point: I just found this ccj_kernel from engelh. Doesn't he provide a repository with newer kernels for OpenSUSE versions? Are there any opinions about this branch?
