Thanks for your answer. If I understand correctly, I would have to have SMART installed to be able to do this.

to get that result with smart, yes, but to get the package, all you need to do is go to packman and download it. You can install it locally with "rpm -Uvh <package-name>", or kpackage for a graphical interface, or konqueror for that matter.

Because I am still struggling to understand just the basic default software management of SuSE 10.2 and because I have seen posts indicating there are problems with SMART, I am not at this point willing to install/use SMART. Perhaps that will come later.

The problems were/are not with smart but with zmd.

And the solution is to remove zmd, and any other zmd related package. The easiest way is using YaST. Than you can use Smart or YaST, whatever you like, to add packman and any other repository that you like and than have all in one, but that when you see newer package version don't jump and update, as it may break your system. I have many repositories in the list, but most of them are disabled, to prevent accidental update, and I did that too. It got no problems, but it happened and to prevent problems I enable them just when I need them.

In the process of hunting for Rosegarden, I have stumbled on something called JackLab Audio Distribution at http://jacklab.org/. Since my main purpose for this PC is music, this seems to be a perfect customized SuSE 10.2.

I didn't use JackLab as I'm really not equipped for the music. Internal sound chip with no MIDI output is enough to reproduce MIDI files, but nothing else. Even Rosegarden I installed just to try to help others with problems to get sound out of it :-) BTW, Rosegarden will complain about too low system clock frequency, but it will work, IMHO, fine. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
