Tom, Did you do an upgrade or a fresh install? JLK
Hi Jerry, Should have mentioned that. Fresh "kitchen sink" install......my usual....I pare it down from there. I am getting some errors @boot regarding firewall and ppp0 (can't locate module ppp0) and that darn modem connecting thing is maddening, but these things always work themselves out as info from the list starts coming in. However all seems to be working in spite of the messages. The net is up, most certainly dialing-on-demand works, and the files are flying from machine to machine. On to fine tuning. I like the inclusion of LinNeighborhood this time, but Webmin would have been good, too. Not a biggy. I am using XF86-3.x.x for the benefit of 3D. So far I have booted both 2.2.18 and 2.4 wihout major probs. Life is good! Tom
That 'firewall' thing is annoying. I have mine turned off but the message appears telling me that anyway. I also am having and unusual amount of trouble getting my ppa to load my Zip100, which is attached to lp1. I have my BJC-620 on lp0. I have lp set as a module but the kernel turns it on anyway, then the "insmod ppa" comes back with a busy message. I recompiled with kerneld off but it still does the same thing. I'm trying to figure it out. I also noticed that while the 2.2.18 kernel appears to be the default, the distro puts the 2.4.2 kernel tree in /usr/src/linux. ???? /etc/modules has only the 2.2.18 module tree, which is equally puzzleing, considering that the kernel source is 2.4. I deleted the 2.4 kernel source and installed the 2.2.18 source. I can't use 2.4 on this box (1996 Sony Vaio with Yamaha sound chip) because OSS and 2.4 don't get along very well just yet, and alsa refuses to see my chips, even when I point right at it. So. no 2.4 for my wife! (I'm getting a new box shortly! :-) JLK
