Probably the best way to get started would be to install a couple of source rpms from the suse cds,

Hi Chris, If I remember correctly, Lenz Grimmer is working on a HOWTO for creating SuSE specific rpms starting from source.

Glad you like it, even though I am not very happy, that the link to this document has been published to the outside world. It still includes a lot of SuSE internal stuff that is of no interest for the wide public. I am working on a document that does not include this internal information, but it is not ready yet. Sigh, I wish I had more time.

I figured as much, from the last sentence in the abstract, but it is a really useful document anyway. I have resolved to only place RPMs on my system now, and I've made a bunch of them, because I tend to be sort of bleeding edge. Maybe I should start putting them on my ftp site... - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE63vl3+FOexA3koIgRAvx+AJ4pfoAFA896mdIG0d4opk2QhtWIzgCglArX /quzUXN3XMwzxT0qkxJzI5g= =uUHT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Information on LinuxToday reveals that the VIA chipset on motherboards using AMD Athlon CPUs, running two IDE HDs and a SoundBlaster card (My Beast!) have a problem transfering large blocks of data (100MB or so). This explains why my Beast had problems copying my CD's or burning them. BIOS patch available.

Don't think so. They said that the BIOS patch wouldn't be available till 'next week'. JLK
