What GUI are you using? Harddrake / drakconf? Have you tried KPPP to dial your modem with the new driver? The one modem I installed with a rpm just told me where to look (hardware, /dev/something) for the modem when it installed, and I configured KPPP to dial up using that. I never even used drakconf / harddrake. > 2) What are the commands I need to run to update Mandrake? I have > reinstalled it and don't know how to do all the downloads.

If you are looking to do command line updates on Mandrake, I suggest taking a look at the cool article to do it on the UUG site: http://uug.byu.edu/articles.php?article=63 Course, that was for Mandrake 9.1, you'd have to look for 9.2 sources on the Mandrake site and modify the commands accordingly. Oh, and don't use secsup for any of the servers. It's having issues. -- Jacob Albretsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
