Installing Kernel Sources In OpenSUSE 10

peter_89 · 02-05-2006, 04:03 PM

I'm installing a driver and need the kernel sources installed before I can go any further (assuming they aren't installed automatically). I need two pieces of information:
1.) How I install the sources, and
2.) Where they are installed.

YaST kernelsources, also ncurses, ncurses-devel, gcc etc.

Like mazinoz already pointed out, the kernel-sources are installed just like any other package via YaST-> Software managment. If you have updated your kernel via Online Update previously, make sure you run the update again, to ensure the sources have the same version.

The sources will be installed to /usr/src/linux-<version> and a link /usr/src/linux to this directory will be created.

Mm, just tried to reconfigure and compile kernel in SuSE10 OSS and found I didn't have to go back and install ncurses etc as in SuSE10.
