SUSE 10.0 Questions. Help

[welsh]

hey, i just installed linux suse 10.0 and well i cant get internet, it wont detect my geforce 7300gt and i also cant get sound, im workin on sound but its going slowely. ive looked on the nvidia site for the drivers and im not sure which one to pick, ive got the 32bit version of SUSE even though im on a 64bit processor. as for my internet it has detected my 2 ethernet drives slots in the back and how one is plugged in but apart from that im nowhere. i also can only find my motherboard drivers for windows. one of these

You should download 10.1 for 64bit.

There shouldn't be any problem with the 7300GT card since most of Nvidia works perfectly in Linux. What happens when Linux load, do you get a graphical login or does it prompt you in the shell?

You can still install your video driver, I suggest you follow this guide and have a look. Everything can be done in the shell, you can still run YaST, just log in as root and type yast2, but navigation is a little tricky.

What driver are you using for the wireless?

 

[welsh]

for the wireless none since i cant find any, but i was trying to use the ethernet ports built into the mobo.

I looked it up and NDIS works with your card. Read the wiki to see which driver you need, and how to install.
