Another suggestion, may work just fine try to change your CD to at least an 8x speed. Some Linux distributions seem to need higher speed, because of the CD's copy method. -----Mensaje original----- De: dizzy <dizzy73(a)connix.com> Para: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Fecha: Domingo, 27 de Diciembre de 1998 04:51 p.m. Asunto: Re: [SuSE Linux] CD Underrun error? > > > >John Assalone wrote: > >> I'm setting up a 486 with suse5.3.

I'm setting up a 486 with suse5.3. The computer has an ide 2x cd. I boot with the disk created with setup and linuxrc starts up. When I chose the cd as the install source, the drive was accessed, but i then got a message saying that the cd couldn't be mounted.

But during kernel build I also have added the proc-file support. Additionaly, now I also got the problem that kernel compilation using XFree modul isn't possible, only console based modules like menuconfig (ore similar). And what about syslogd-error (s.a.) ?? Interestingly, after finishing a X-Windows session as a user (or superuser, doesn't matter), I find myself on a textconsole without a prompt. And now I cannot start any new programm unless changing to a new textconsole. Any comments ??

Re: [SuSE Linux] ppp - isp - how ?
by dizzy73＠connix.com 28 Dec '98

d Id say the easiest method is to get wvdial. One important note is to make sure youinstall it correctly ;-) The rpm appears easiest but I had better luck with the source download the wvdial tar.tarthan untar it as in tar xzf wvdialfull filename.tar.tar then you should have a dir called wvdial cd to it and type make it goes through its compiling then stops then type make install again it installs the program *Important note here* Before you do this you need gcc so simply go to yast and create new configuration...look in development... select gcc than install that. Then the wvdial will compile effortlessly and you'll have your dialup in a fe min ;-) next is to get the wvdial config file so once its installed type wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf this will dectect your modem and create a config file in /etc if your modem is setup correctly it will dectect it. if it goes rite then edit the file /etc/wvdial.conf add your phone # username and password save it then type wvdial and you're connected! If you have any trouble post it here and someone will try and help. You can get wvdial in my sig have fun! rob <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A</A>> Powered By S.u.S.E 5.3 - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
