Well... the first time I installed SuSE was the 6.2 version but, I
couldn't find the media. The best I can get you is the 7.2 rpm and
src.rpm version of fping...

If you want them you can get it at
http://www.rusiantos.com/~rsantos/fping72/

Also, in that directory, there's also a static version of the fping
binary and man page...
