I just got through installing Linux SuSE 9.3 and have a few questions

1. I have downloaded some stuff for Linux and put it on a CD like antivirus software and other small utilities and almost all of them are .RPM files and I don't know how to execute these jokers to run cna someon please tell me how to get these files to work out for me ?

2. I have a netgear wireless USB adapter (ma111) and it will not work unless I make my own driver, can someone please tell me how to do this properly or direct me to a really good tutorial site on how to do this with no BS ?

3. I have winrar on my flash drive for linux, but when I checked the flash drive for winrar in Linux it doesn't show up it's almost like it doesn't exist in Linux, however its available for windows XP when I view it there..... whats wrong with this file that I can't see it ?

Have you Googled for a driver? And can you see other files on the flash drive? If not, it might be using a filesystem Linux can't read (at least not without some extra support).

1: You need a package manager that supports RPM's. Dunno if SuSE has one.

2: No you dont. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/answers.php?action=viewarticle&artid=239
The source for that module isn't even new.

3: Do you have the kernel module for the FAT filesystem installed? You need it.

SuSE has YaST to do RPM management... you can also use the rpm command to do this.
