Hi, After having quite a few problems installing RH9 I tried my hand on Slackware 9.1 where two problems I am unable to solve.
One is just an annoying one, that I as a user can't mount /mnt/cdrom. No matter what setting I put in fstab and for /dev/hdb it will not let me mount it. I copied all the settings I have in RH7.3, to no avail. Question: how does one make SW9.1 to let a user mount /mnt/cdrom? The second problem is more serious, I can't apparently enter the Internet neither with ppp-go nor with kppp. It dials up, connects and then nothing happens it just sits. Ping gives 100% package loss. Below is the message I get using ppp-go which shows that I have logged-in. I terminated the connection with ppp-off after 3 minutes of nothing doing. In the kernel ppp is set to yes. I have made several attempts, they all give the same log. Where would the problem be? What other info is needed?
