Re: [newbie] CD wont load on boot
Try going into your BIOS (check your computer's manual) and looking for boot order. Put the CD-ROM drive at the top. *Michael Notforyou* That worked. Thanks for the help once again. I appriciate it alot Derek

Re: [newbie] Modem help

Re: [newbie] Modem help
i have another isp for linux and the modem is on the computer i just built only running linux not on this computer and im not sure how to find out info about the modem on linux On Sunday 18 August 2002 06:08 pm, you wrote: well i have 2 i can use 1.lucent not sure what chipset or whatever pci modem. 2.diamond supramax pci 56k modem the first one is in right now cause i cant find a linux driver for the supramax Couple of things, sometimes it helps to quote the origanal poat in your reply, and add your reply to the bottom so the top shows what was being talked about in earlier messages, this is a big help for people who search the archives andread the post at a later time when they have a problem. next, are you on AOL? cause if you are, it may not matter about what modem you have, AOL does not do linux, as I recall. Next it is VERY important to have a better clue about what modem you have. since you dual boot into windows to use OL, you should be able to glean much more info from the device mangaler in M$windows (my Computer, right click, properties, devices look for modem, highlite it and click "properties", I think, it is from Memory, and as if it was not bad enough that I was born male (and thus missing half my brain) but I donated the other half to the military.

I'm pretty sure you have to have windows as the primary and mandrake as the slave. I could be wrong though.

Re: [newbie] Modem Installation Help
i got the modem driver pctel-0.9.2 and i followed the steps but after i type make it says to give a hal so i gave it i810 and then it goes on and stops at "linux kernel:too many arguments" and then says i must install kernel version 2.4.0 so i downloaded 2.4.0 and its like 23.3mb and i cant fit it on a floppy cause of the size and i cant burn cd's cause i cant find the driver for my cd writer and i dont know how else i can get it from windows2k to linux(I'm dual booting) and i also tried downloading the version of the pctel driver 0.8.6 and when i format a floppy to put it on the floppy only has 1.38mb space(odd cause its a 1.44mb floppy..go figure) and that wont work cause the floppy needs to be at least 1.42mb so im like going nuts here tryin to figure out ways to get the kernel or driver over to linux from win2k and nothing im doin is working =\ guess linux wasnt for me...
