A couple more problems/questions: 1) As a normal user I can use kppp just fine. However, as root it doesn't work. It will dial the modem, I hear it connect, but then it pops up 'No Carrier'. And if I query the modem I get all blanks rather than the info I get as a normal user. Any ideas? 2) This isn't really a Mandrake question, but most of y'all are helpful so . . . I'm taking Computer Science I this semester and will finally begin learning C++. Should have picked up a book long ago, but never did. Anyhow, what I want to know is how do I compile programs under Linux? I think I have everything installed gcc and gcc++ and the libs and (hopefully) the header files. So, supposing I wanted to compile the obligatory beginning program that prints the "Hello world" line, how would I? Thanks!! -- Ty Mixon e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 26147713
