Hey Group: Good News! A download of gcc 3.3 for SuSE 8.2 has been installed. I now am glad to say a stock SuSE 8.2 kernel and modules did compile completely. I am now running on it with no known problems and a clean boot. It did have some warning type errors but compiled all the way. However, now it is running on the correct CPU type. Download all of the files and install them. I used -> "rpm --upgrade --nodeps" file.rpm and give it a try. Thanks SuSE for fixing an 8.2 problem. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org Info: http://www.knoppix.net
