usually the digit dvd gives the files in rpm so just doublle click it wll install in suse. If it is a archive the extract it and do the following

./configure
make
make install

what modem do you have intrnal or external ?

Well, I have an internal modem.. So, how do I configure it ?
I have used Konqueror.. In it when I click on .rpm files, it gives a button.. somthing like Install package using YAST when I click on it , YAST2 opens up but I don't know what to do then..

Linux virus are rare but to be on the safe side use clamav an antivirus for linux. To install mplayer i think susi has a package manager use it as all dependency problems are looked into this way
Acrobat reader 7 is available for linux.
For dvd playback use xine.
for installing kde check out the forum there is a thread on this subject.

But what about configuring DIAL UP internet connection? and installing programs with extensions on SuSE 9.1:
i) .rpm
ii) .tgz
iii) .deb

.deb is for debian so i dont think they work on susi
.rpm if new package rpm -ivh xxxxxxxxxx.rpm if upgrading rpm -Uvh xxxxxxxx.rpmand .tgz are source files use method given by vignesh after unzipping using gunzip and untar tar -xvf xxxxxxxx.tar

In suse you can install files very easily just right click and select install with yast.I don`t know abut deb files.Use yast to configure your modem and create a connection. IN suse everything can be done using yast

Hmm u said u have an internal modem rite. Then there is a 90% chance tht ur modem won't work in Linux.When u start trying to configure ur modem u will start hearing words like 'WinModem','Software simulated Modem', 'Cheaper Internal Modem' etc. These stuffs won't work in Linux. This problem caused me to drop Linux. :twisted: :twisted:

But this is no solution.. I went in YAST and there configured to install software for my internal modem (which it recognized) and asked for the SUSE CD. So, after installing, when I clicked Dial Up in the K Menu (i.e Start Button of LINUX, I don't know its name), it showed some error and I did not find any place for entering details like Server name, Phone no., Username, Password, etc..
Plz help.........

1)
There r very few virus in Linux and there r very few Antivirus also. According to Linux For You, popular brands like Norton have Linux Version also.

2) No Idea sry

3) I could use Open with in Fedora Linux

4) download.com, real players website and adobes website. Refer their help on how to install

5) I think it came bundled with a few text files on how to install them. Anyway the whole process is command line
