How to update linux kernel

[arunmib]

HI all,
I have OpenSuSe10.2 and it's a 64bit version. It's installed on a laptop which is dual boot other one is WinXP (home 32-bit edition). I recently downloaded the FUSE and NTFS-3g packages and installed them. After installation I got a warning message saying that for safer operation I need to update my kernel. I haven't in my life done a kernel update. Can somebody help me as how to do it ?

Thanks for the information and help in advance.. :)

You can update the kernel by compiling and installing new kernel. Or wait for someone to compile and give binaries for you.
you can try compiling kernel. This link may be of some use to you

If you want a SuSE kernel, you can use the online update, I believe.

If you decide to install a plain vanilla kernel, you can get your current kernel configuration from /proc/config.gz, I believe. Use that if you are too lazy to go through the kernel configuration yourself.

HTH,
