I have just tried to install SuSE 9.1 pro however my fourth disk didn't work. Hoping nothing vital was stored on that disk I pressed on and hoped that YaST would dl and install any packages I had missed. It now all seems to work except for sound, which I have been trying to install through YaST, all it will throw up is: "Unable to install sound module" The card is a Creative SB 512 which I have had working fine under FC1&2 and the personal version. Anyone any idea how to fix this problem or where to dl an image for the 4th disk so I can try the install again? Oh I do have onboard sound as well but this is disabled in bios

It works - Dunno what I did, but booted into Nix a low and behold the sound decided to work! As for the disks, they came from a friend - think I may hav scratched the 4th one!

I like vlc, it seems to play anything - mp3, DivX, mov, whatever - perfectly. I have had trouble installing the FC2 build but that is probably just me.

Anyone know where I can find a precompiled version of IP_Queue mod for use with kernel 2.4.22?

As part of a student household I get my net connection through a server running Win 2K. We have been having problems, and now the PC simply won't do anything, and so I wish to install Linux to do the job. Anyone got any suggestions about how to go about it? Specifically what distribution should i look at, and will there be compatability problems with a usb DSL modem? Anyone know where to look for answers to these? BTW the PC is Celeron 500 (Maybe not the best start 4 gig hard drive 256 megs ram and the modem is a Draytek Vigour.

Thanks, I dled and setup (With a fair amount of help - lol) smoothwall. It's brillient, (Which is more than can be said for my spelling) so thanks for letting me know about it. Just one question, anyone know how to setup IP forwarding on it? Do I have to use Iptables (Scarey) or is there an easier way?

Thanks, I'll give it a try
