    Folks,

    I'm somewhat new to SuSE's kernel upgrade approach, so when I go the 9.0
    patch website and saw several upgrade to the kernel ...2.4.21-192 to be
    precise ... do I only need to install the kernel source patch (I'm
    running a Pentium 4)? Or must I install all the patches I see currently
    listed under security upgrades? All the patches dated Feb 18 2004 seem
    to deal with the same problems, so that implies the different patches
    for different processors? Or they all address the same problem from
    different directions? I'm so confused... ;-)

    Best regards,

    Pete
