Hello ! 1.- Stupid and primary question : (never did it b4) tried to install firewall on my stand alone PC. The interface in question nr.2 was of the SuSEfirewall.config.rc file was set as ttyS1, which is my modem port. When loading linux, i get a message saying that the interface must be specified, and, of course whole of the firewall boot set up marks failed. Unhappily my 7.1pro book doesn't help a lot. They tell what to write in for ISDN, not for a stupid external modem. Suppose there will be a lot a people around there who see the answer as obvious and will condescent to help me. (thanks) 2.- another stupid question : when starting linux, another message comes :etc/inittab [89] id filed too long (max 4 characters). My line 89 of inittab is : "fax getty (Hylafax)" I just fear the question is too simple to resolve and nobody willanswer my question (the truth is that it doesn't seem to harm the funccionning) 3.- KDE : when trying to install RealPlayer, I get grey squares displayed instead of characters. Saw somewhere that JRE 1.3 had such effects on Konqueror. Downloaded then Sun's JRE 1.3.1 but finalizes with *rpm.bin I know how to install rpm, bur rpm.bin ? The package installer doesn't work with it. Probably a lot of people know the answer to such undercivilized a question but will someone give me the right suggestion ' Rgds to all Jacek
