My 10.2 installation has lost its sound. When I attempt to reinstall the
sound card via Yast, I get this message:
The kernel module snd-via-82xx for sound support could not be loaded. This
can be caused by incorrect module parameters including invalid I/O or IRQ
parameters.

I'm trying to send mail through my ISP using sendmail (postfix under the
covers). I have to use sendmail because the actual application is the
PHP5 "mail" command, and that command uses sendmail. My ISP requires a

I believe that sendmail is a "wrapper" for postfix, so the sendmail command
calls upon the postfix machinery.

Because my problems with my sound card seem to be incurable (or at least no
one can tell me how to cure them) with the current kernel version
(2.6.18.2-34), I'd like to revert to the immediately preceding kernel
version. Where can I find it? And what problems might I encounter if I do

I have a couple of questions about how Yast handles multiple sources for
software installation:
1. If a source is unavailable (an unmounted DVD, for instance), does that
block the installation or does Yast simply move to the next available source?
2. When the same package is available from di

I have Opensuse 10.2 installed. I've seen several negative references to

files on the disk in the drive disappeared -- under Linux. They are

Suddenly it was there and didn't seem to be working. Right now I have an

Well, I've recompiled my kernel to include smbfs, so now I can get smbmount to

One more thought. There's nothing to stop you from installing both cifs and
the older smbfs. You can mount cifs with the mount.cifs command. I suppose

I want to copy the contents of a partition from a disk drive on one machine to
