easy. :) first, become root. then:

cd /usr/src/linux/
make menuconfig

then search through there, that is all the stuff you will need to compile
a new kernel. it's quite simple. then after you are done, you exit.. it
asks you if you want to save, you hit "yes".. then type:

make dep

and after that is done, if there are no errors:

make bzImage

and if there is no errors, then:

cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot

now, i am not sure where kernels go on suse, but if i remember right,
they are in /boot. so that command should work fine. then this:

cd /boot
mv bzImage vmlinuz-kernel_version_number
chmod +x vmlinuz-kernel_version_number
vim /etc/lilo.conf

and then in lilo.conf, add a section for your new kernel. most of the
time, will look something like this:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-kernel_version_number
	label=whatever_you_want
	read-only

now, you may have to add other things. type:

man lilo.conf

to find out if you want anything else. in your lilo script. other than
that, everything should work fine. :)
