Hi, Look at http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/thallma_rpm_40.html Some parts of SuSE's website hasn't been updated properly after the 'great remake', and there are a few dead links here and there. The above link, however, was found by a straight search on 'rpm' in the support database What's your problem with sound? 6.3 is quite old now, and may not have support if you have a newer soundcard regards Anders On Saturday 03 November 2001 08.06, manav mehta wrote:

It depends on which audio chipset your motherboard manufacturer used. Just because it's an i810 does not mean it uses the Intel audio codec.
i have mandrake and redhat running on kernel-2.4.3. can i copy the /usr/src/linux-2.4.3(in mandrake and redhat) directory to my suse linux's /usr/src directory and then compile it ?
Probably. I'd personally rather get a clean tarball. You also need some updated tools like modutils to handle the 2.4 series kernel.
