I don’t know what level of support is bundled with the product. It
occurred to me after my last post that SLED was installed on the machine
when you purchased it; that makes it “oem”. In Windows land, support
for the OS is provided by the manufacturer (such a deal for Microsoft,
they sell a reduced-price license for the software to the manufacturer,
but the oem picks up all the support costs); note that the manufacturer
is granted right to install/configured the OS differently that what is
sold retail. You may be able to purchase support from Novell, but given
your location you would want to be very clear in advance who/how is
delivering the support. It’s perfectly fine to use the community
forums, but very important that you be clear what you are using - the
assumption will otherwise be openSUSE, which is not exactly the same.
Your SLED 10 is probably closest to openSUSE 10.3 using Gnome. You
probably cannot use the openSUSE repositories (maybe that’s how you
broke the sound?), AFAIK you need to use Novell’s. Did you check the
manufacturer’s documentation or website?

Hi
SLED10 is equivalent to openSUSE 10.1, I haven’t followed this thread,
but the OP may wish to post over in the novell forums for SLED at
http://forums.novell.com.

Do you happen to know the openSUSE corrolary to the SLED service packs? I looked at overviews of SP1 and SP2; hard from that limited info to match up but if I had to guess SP1=10.2 and SP2=10.3? OP has SP1.

Thx for heads-up on Novell forums. I took a quick look and saw that you’ve been lurking there, too.

Hi
As far as I’m aware it’s pretty much still the 10.1 base with
backports, that being said generally I have found building from source
rpms 10.3 and 10.2 can work if there are no major dependencies. The
search feature (http://software.opensuse.org/search) is also a good
source to find the SLE repositories. And of course
http://www.pcc-services.com/sled10_rpms.html for others
(multimedia/games).

I’ve been running SLED10 as my main OS since 2005 on an AMD 4400X2,
openSUSE (and others) on the notebook

Nice to know, to be honest the first website the computer opened was one of Novell but not the forums and the first link I found was from the openSuse forums, thanks for the link I’ll be checking it
