Well, I didnt receive any responses to my sound card question, which leads me
to believe that I have probably snafu'd something that will require a fresh
install of SuSE 6.4.

But before I go and screw up that install by doing the same silly things, I
would like to know if it is safe to use Redhat RPMs on a SuSE 6.4 system??

The situation is that I wanted to install gkrellm (latest) but that required
GTK+ and Glib 1.2.8 or later.  Not being able to find a SuSE RPM for these
(anyone got a good place to find this kind of thing for the latest SuSE, let me
KNOW!) on rpmfind.net., I downloaded a *generic* RPM created by Redhat for i386
Linux.  Is this where I screwed up?

I have been using SuSE since 6.1, by which I mean I have purchased each
version. Is it just me, or is SuSE a little slow coming out with the latest
RPMs?

And yet another question (yaq).  I have never tried nor have I done any
research (yet), how hard is to create RPMs?  Can anyone give me a brief (very)
on whats involved? I'm thinking maybe thats the route to go, create your
own.

Thanks!
CK
