You use the triple ./configure, make, checkinstall instead of ./configure, make, make install. Checkinstall will build you an rpm that you can install in the normal way using Yast or rpm+SuSEconfig. That way your conserve system integrity.
Thanks, it isn't just dri that I've had pause before installing from source before. It's nice to know it's possible to do without messing up yast. Cheers. (by the way, I tried to send this off list but you seem to be blocking the gmail ip. Fair enough as long as you know :) ) -- Paul
