if /etc/resolv.conf exists, kppp will use it to determine the dns servers, if it doesn't exist, it will try and negotiate them with your isp. wvdial used to be configurable in yast, but these days suse use kinternet instead for yast configuration. i dont think there are any other wvdial configurers out there, but its trivial to configure anyway - just run wvdialconf if you are looking for an rpm package you know the name of, yast2 install/remove software has a search option. if you want. if its not on the cd or dvd, try rpmfind.net on the web I belive the YOU kde3 is just the basics yes, ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.0/ has the complete kde3.0.2 (its big) Ewan On Sun, 2002-07-28 at 09:01, Simon Taplin wrote:
Many thanks to everybody who helped me with my previous questions.
Some more questions
1. kppp complains when I start it that /etc/resolv.conf is empty or it can't be read. Would I be right in assuming thay I need to put my ISP's DNS servers in the file (or at later point, 127.0.0.1 if I want to run a caching DNS server)?
2. wvdial - To configure it, is it a GUI configuration or do I need to edit a configuration file (mc/mcedit is my friend)
3. Is there a way to search for a specific rpm packge or do I need to manually browse the rpm library to install it?
4. I ran YOU and got all the latest patches/updates/etc which I assume included KDE3.0.2. But when I run control center, it says I am still running KDE3.0.0. Does YOU just install the updated libraries and not the whole of KDE?
Thanks Simon
