First the kernel question. How do I find out what is and isn't in my default kernel? Suse 9.0, I was thinking of compiling one to learn and to change the bootsplash. I might add a couple of options but I'd like to know if they are already in there. K3b: I downloaded the k3b rpm from Suse's site when I found out that they forgot the ability to make cd's from mp3. Uninstalled the cd one and installed the "corrected one". It crashes on startup. Had to reinstall the old to do backups. Now I would like to try it again. Where do I find the error messages (what is the logfiles name) and has anybody else had this problem. On a side note, are there any plugins that allow me to filter/level the volume of all the mp3's as I burn them? tia Randal Just like the email says, I'm still learning
