Don,

Thanks for the reply. It's great to get fast support when first starting out. I'm really interested in what you were saying about FTP from the Windows box to the Linux box.

2.  My linux computer is not connected to the internet.  Once I download
the necessary files to my windows machine, how do I transfer the files
to my linux computer and place them in the proper folder or directory in
linux.  What is the proper directory in which to place the files.


can you see the windows box using ftp? i can't log into my windows box
from linux,
but i can log into my linux box from the windows box and send the files
to the
linux box using ftp. -any directory will work, make one and call it
pub,tmp, or something
on the windows box, on the linux box just make a temporary directory
somewhere like
your ~ directory or /usr/src/PACKAGES/rpm

Am I understanding correctly: I can just download the necessary XFree 4.0.2 files (I still don't know exactly which ones are needed for a successful install) onto my Windows computer, and then run a Network cable from my Windows Box network card to my Linux Box network card, and FTP the downloaded files into a chosen directory on the Linux box? This would be jammin'! I'm surprised that Windows would be able to read and decipher the Linux directory tree. Can you give me a few more tips on how to set up an FTP session using this configuration.


i still haven't been able to get the dri modules to compile,
i get errors about "agp" stuff, and i don't have an agp video board,
sent feedback to suse, but i really don't expect any reply.

Good Luck,
-don

I tried using SuSE email support after registering my software and they still haven't gotten back to me either. I was kinda surprised because the company touts its customer support as a strong reason to go with SuSE. At any rate, I am thankful for the active minds who participate on this mailing list.
