Re: What video card do I use?
This is what I think I'll try. Download to my windows/dos partition...reboot into linux...mount my dos partition...use the downloads directly from my dos partiton to upgrade XFree86. Is there a bundle of somekind I can download instead of downloading all these files one at a time? = rick __ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one place. Yahoo!

Re: What video card do I use?
Here is what I would like to do until I can get a modem which supports linux. Download the packages necessary to upgrade my XFree86 on my windows partition...boot into my linux partition...mount my msdos partition...and upgrade it this way. Will this work? And if so, which files specifically do I need to download? = rick __ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one place. Yahoo! Shopping: http://shopping.yahoo.com

When I run XF86Setup, I dont see my video card listed and am not sure how to go about using the advanced options. I have a 16MB nVidia RIVA TNT AGP. Can anyone help me? Slink comes with XFree86 3.3.2, you need to upgrade to XFree86 3.3.5 which can be found at http://www.debian.org/~vincent.

I have a winmodem and thus have not configured ppp yet. How do I go about doing this without being on the net? = rick __ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one place. Yahoo! Shopping: http://shopping.yahoo.com

It's a multistep process to getting your problem solved. 1) take out modem 2) go to store, buy new modem (not winmodem 3) install new modem (reccomend USR, Diamond, or Zoomtel) 4) configure ppp with pppconfig 5) logon to the net :) nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By:http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMPhttp://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 7:33am up 105 days, 19:15, 2 users, load average: 1.75, 1.76, 1.72

Winmodems only work with windows - get an external modem and you should be good to go. jpb -- Joe Block [EMAIL PROTECTED] CREOL System Administrator Social graces are the packet headers of everyday life.

You could try going to that site and downloading the debs using whatever connection you are sending email through. Then, transfer those debs to someplace that your Debian system can get to and install them via dpkg. Granted, that's all messier than a regular connection but it should work. Might have to run a few cycles of download - install - cuss about unmet dependancies - download - install - etc (yes, I *have* been there, done that - that's how I know it works. It's also why I'm nearly positive about the third step.) It'll be a little tedious, but it'll also get you a working system eventually. As others have said, one thing you will most likely want to do at some point is get a different modem. If you go to http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html you will find lots of information about modems and their use under Linux - specifically you will find a very lengthy list of modems and whether they work with Linux or not. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | Where do you want to go today?
