okay.. well i have a problem......

1) cant connect to the internet through linux untill i get my wlan card configured

2) cant configure my wlan card till i install the source

3) SuSE personal disks didnt come with the kernel source on them. that is only in the pro version, or some rubbish

4)downloaded the kernel source file thing... belive it ends in .rpm or some such.. but YaST wont work to install it from my harddrive (it might just be that i don't know how to make it) and i dont know how to do it any other way... so this is where i need help

how do i install the kernel source without YaST ? or internet access? is it possible?

no internet access??

hmmm... get a friend to download it from kernel.org for you??

-- the full source for the current stable version

[edit]temporary link here it is-- http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v...-2.6.9.tar.bz2[/edit]

no.. i have it... i just dont know how to install it.. source that i have for my kernel is (im using a diff. kernel that came with the suse) File kernel-source-2.4.21-99.i586.src.rpm

Just use

rpm -ivh your_rpm.rpm

to install RPM's out of the command terminal. It is easier than Yast anyway. I assume that's all you were asking.

yeah... i'd drop that rpm, and just get the full source from kernel.org

what is the -rvh ?

- ivh, my bad...

i just need the source for my current kernel installed, as i dont have the latest kernel, i dont want the latest kernel source
