Re: [newbie] Modem
Now I'm having the same problem as someone else did earlier. Whenever I'm connected, I can't open any programs. I saw this problem, but I don't know if anyone had a solution. If anyone does, I'll will be very grateful. In Kppp, there is a checkbox regarding hostnames. Uncheck it. If your isp changes your hostname, your programs can't find your x-server. -- http://www.uplink.freeuk.com - ICQ: 15212336
Re: [newbie] Why can't non-root user save to DOS partion?
Is there something special about mounted DOS partitions that I need to know about as far as permissions are concerned? I'm being forced to work as root because otherwise I have no ability to write to DOS partitions. There must be a way around this!? Please help. I think it is because it is a FAT partition, permissions do not work. Instead , you have to edit /etc/fstab and specify the general permissions. Don't knowt the details, try man mount for info. -- http://www.uplink.freeuk.com - ICQ: 15212336 No witty comment or quote required.
Re: [newbie] Kernel

Re: [newbie] Modem won't work anymore in Linux......
You can follow the thread titled "[expert] PPPD dying" and it should document the problems encountered. I haven't tried Russ' idea since I burned up too much time wrestling with this problem. But it seems to be the solution. Good luck and let us know how you did. I have found that fiddling with the line termination (choose between CR, LF or CL/LF does the trick. Also try both PAP, CHAP and terminal logins. -- http://www.uplink.freeuk.com - ICQ: 15212336 No witty comment or quote required.

Re: [newbie] netscape not working in user logon.
I have just begun using linux and somehow have messed up the netscape in my common user logon for kde/ still working fine in the root. any suggestions on how to correct this? Go into your home directory and delete all directories that have netscape in the name. Next time you log in it will reinstall netscape with the defaults. -- http://www.uplink.freeuk.com - ICQ: 15212336 No witty comment or quote required.

Re: [newbie] Missing Ram -- Append?
I have 256mb of ram, but linux only shows 64. I got a not from someone telling me to add the line: apppend="mem=256" to my lilo.conf file. The probelm is, there is already one there for something else. How do I combine the two(lilo won't run until there's only one)? The I tried to put: append="hdd=ide-scsi mem=256" I saw the hdd-ide-scsi come up when booting, but a few lines after that my computer froze with the message: kernal panic: kmem_cache_sizes_init: Error creating caches In Swappertask = not syncing Good thing I had a boot disk... Anyone have any ideas? Add append="mem=256" to the end of the 'linux' entry in lilo.conf. You can get rid of any other entry that is anywhere else.
