Re: owner permissions
Hi Florian I got your email and I am pleased to say that I have don another
install, and this time the P/C was hooked up to my home cable network that I
just built recently So the O/S is installed properly and I done what you
said,check the synaptic package manager,and low and behold there is was
"ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 I have not yet installed it but I will very soon,I
want to read up on the help files that you sent me,just to make shure that I
do every thing in accordance with the help files,I also checked the spam
folder that you suggested and I could not find any email that you said might
be in there, but like you said the email program might not be working as it
should,So with that said, I have ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 in the synaptic
package manger ready for install,and you are right about "owner permissions"
or root permissions,
best regards Florian.
