Unfortunately I can't help a lot, but I believe there are ways of getting a boot disk either off the CD or off the Net at S.u.S.E.' site. I have never put much effort into this. I hope one of the more experienced folks here will be able to help with this. Im sure there is documentation on how to accomplish this. I'm not sure what is up with the CD. I've never attempted to boot directly off it. I'm just offering the boot floppy as an alternative approach.

You won't be sorry.:-) Terry

Terry, I did that, and it almost works. I can't get to my email though. I'm using the server to check my mail now! My Linux experience is soooo limited. Isn't yast the admin tool? Shouldn't I be able to use it to set up my gateway and router address, and IP and so on? Wow! If I remember correctly...I used YaST to set up after I did it manually. I'm sorta dubious about the YaST's abilities as I have run the printer setup several times and gotten differrent results:-) The ip-connect thing was very easy with my current ISP. /etc/resolv.conf search laker.net nameserver 192.188.72.18 nameserver you.rdn.sn.um use minicom -s to find what your isp does and put in: /etc/ppp/chatscript ABORT BUSY ABORT ERROR ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' ABORT 'Invalid Login' ABORT 'Login incorrect' ' ' ATZ<YOUR BEST MODEM STRING> OK ATDT<YOUR ISP NUMBER> CONNECT ' '<these are two single quotes> ogin: your login name ord:'\qyour password'

the 'q\' means quiet #chmod o-rw /etc/ppp/chatscript touch /etc/ppp/options later put your options in above. chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd $ /usr/sbin/pppd lock modem crtscts asyncmap 0 defaultroute /dev/modem 115200 connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/chatscript" then when the above worked I placed it in options file and ran them as: /usr/sbin/pppd < /etc/ppp/options then I did: cat > netme usr/sbin/pppd < /etc/ppp/options enter,enter CTL-DC or whatever to get out...and can now get in the net by either netme or ./netme How far have you gotten now? I'm running KDE and it has it's own way of getting mail to the desktop, very professional. the fvwm2 thing

to work, but when I loaded xtetris, it locked up, saying the CPU usage was 100% I'm kinda lost. Going on the web now. Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Marie
