I did try "installpkg kernel-generic-2.6.18-i486-1.tgz"
in the testing folder but nothing happend.
Could someone tell me where to find it in the Slackware 11 DVD or the SUSE 10 DVD. Thanks a lot!
Also whats the best guide to installing the new kernel. Although Shilo's guide is really good, I would like something that tells me what I am doing and why I am doing it.
The best answer to this post would ofcourse be the one that tells me a fantastic method to bypass the 10 MB HTTP GET limit but thats a story for another forum I guess.

Hi,
To install the 2.6.18 kernel you will need to be in the directory '/testing/packages/linux-2.6.18' on the dvd.
You can get some good reference from
slackbasics.
Check my sig for other good online reference.
Another good kernel compile guide is
alien_bob's.
