I am using openSUSE 10.3 and the pc is DELL Optiplex 780.
The network devices is not supported by openSUSE 10.3 but I may have found it’s module. But I can’t “MAKE INSTALL” it as my installation does not have MAKE command.
I have selected “Install All” during my installation.
Linux version is 2.6.22.5-31-default.
The ISO size is around 600MB.
What is the package name for the MAKE command? So that I can find it so that I can install it into my openSUSE 10.3?
Or a direct link will be very helpful.

why is that?
i ask because this community no longer supports openSUSE 10.3, support
for it ended in october 2009…
your problem seems to be that you have a LiveCD instead of an install
DVD–as the DVD contains and has the ability to install the
development packages (in which there will be the make utility)…
do you have access to a DVD (careful, there were two different DVDs
one for 32 and another for 64 bit install)?

can’t remember the name, but is it some really fancy interactive
graphics…out Germany…someone needs to clue that company to
either “move on” or collect a full set of 10.3 disks/repos etc to give
when they sell their software pack…
well, whatever software you have that requires 10.3 you (or someone)
really needs to realize that eventually that old repo could/will go away…
I even have to deal with Redhat 7 last year.
I am also dealing with novell 3 and DOS machines. And the fellow who wrote the DOS software retired years ago. rotfl!
Some stuff are so old that it is a monumental task to recode it to suit modern hardware.
I am downloading the full DVD and will troubleshoot from there.
Another qns,
Will there be a problem if I install 32bit opensuse on a 64bit machine?

dig around in the archives (accessible via both google and this forums
advanced search function) using the network card brand/chip until you
find the workaround/wrapper/driver driver/module you need…
and/or post anew in the networking conference…
you ARE at a great disadvantage with that 10.3 out-of-support
system…(and, you might find a workable driver in 11.x)
You need to add the basic development packages in yast to get the c++ compiler which will allow you to compile the file. You will probably need the kernel headers for your kernel version.
Have a look at: http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/opensuse/update/10.3
and see if the network card is there.
Another, perhaps easier solution is to add an older network card and use this instead.

congrats and welcome…
but, it goes without saying (but i never can do that): the
kernel/system files/programs available in that old repo have not
received a SECURITY patch in a long long time…you system is
vulnerable to several known and exploitable problems…you must
therefore take special precautions to keep the bad OUT!
i hope (for you) your “up online” means online on the local lan,
behind a strong firewall/etc, with no way for any on the internet to
access the machine ever…
