uname -a gives "Linux linux 2.4.20-4GB-athlon..." whereas looking in /usr/src/ I find linux-2.4.20.SuSE. Yet again YAST2 reports that I have 2.4.20-102 kernel and sources installed.
The same sources can be used to build kernels for all the different hardware linux supports. The "linux 2.4.20" part is indeed the source version, but the "-4GB-athlon" appendage is simply a title that suse has choosen to add to the kernel version to identify what configuration was used to build that kernel. Running $make oldconfig; inside the kernel's source directory will hopefully configure the sources to build a kernel like the one running. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
