Linux Newbie

Hi,

I have recently been tasked to try running Acronis 9.1 Linux Server for some test purporses by my boss.

I have managed to install Suse Linux 9.3 and now I am pretty clueless on how to install the Acronis package. It is in a .i686 file format. I have tried Yast and it does not work. Since I am pretty much a Linux newbie so there is really a limit to what I can do.

Would any kind souls guide me on how to install the .i686 package?

Thanks and Regards,
akleo

Upon installation it actually states that snapapi kernal not compiled or something.

Where do I get this kernal? I am currently using Suse Linux 9.3
