I have tried to add my kerne Libre into my Tw appliances from the below repo, and freed-ora-freedom has been conflicted over kernel-default, however without kernel-libre I can NEVER build my appliance, though there is already kernel-libre-core as my own kernel.  
[http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/freed-ora/master-next/](http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/freed-ora/master-next/) My kernel Libre has been mirrored here above, and the host is a branch under Free Software Foundation, I am thus making the FSF-compatible appliances.  
So do I just install freed-ora-freedom by manual to conflict against kernel-default after my system installation thanks?

I suppose you could try to remove kernel-default, add your repository and  
then add your own kernel from there, but this is a pretty huge change.  
You may need to verify that the builds out there have all of the symbols  
that the SUSE-built kernels have in order to satisfy dependencies within  
the RPM system, and even then I suppose there could be tweaks done on  
either side that will impact the success of the venture.

Either way I am interested to hear how things go for you. Also if you can  
share why you would want to change kernels it may be useful. Is  
FSF-compatible ONLY about the kernel? There is a lot of other software in  
a Linux distribution that could potentially conflict with Stallman’s ideal  
view of free and open source software.

Good luck.
