Re: LiS and Linux 2.6 (SuSE 9.1 and SuSE 9.2)

Paul,

The upcoming 2.18.1 release recognizes SuSE 8.0 through SuSE 9.2, configures,
compiles and even builds RPMs for SuSE.  It is as simple as:

  ./configure
  make
  make install

of

  ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode
  make rpms


make uninstall removes everything, trys to remove modules, removes libraries,
does ldconfig and depmod after removal, etc...
