downloading the free version of Mandriva DVD, and the premise of my
post was that it would be pointless to do that in order to get hold of
php-firebird rpms. That version does not include the said
firebird/php-firebird files. They can be obtained from various
repositories but are not present within the free DVD ISO image. If
someone already is using Suse (and wants to stick to it) I saw no
point in downloading 3+GB of data, hence the links I offered in my
previous postings.

from within their free versions, including the 700MB Mandriva Live-CD
(2007.1 Spring) I tested just a week ago.
