To get everything running perfectly, you should install SuSE 7.3. Then after the installation, download the 2.4.16 kernel rpm from the SuSE ftp site.

===== Original Message From <armin@approximity.com> ===== Hi all,

I think of buying a Sony 505 FX. Are there any known problems? It listed as OK in the suse support database, but does the CDburner (using linux) work, too?

Thanks, A
