RE: [newbie] ADSL~installation through linux
What DSL modem/router did you order? Also what mode will you be running in? PPP or Bridging. Hopefully it is an external router that you have coming. If it is a PPP USWest account, I can help you get it up and running using the Cisco external they offer, and connecting it to your hub.. Good luck and let me know if I can help.

RE: [newbie] icq
I am not sure what advanced functions you may use in ICQ, but for me LICQ does fine. It has a few features that ICQ does not. You can spoof messages with it (not that I would) and it always shows the other parties IP even when they do not allow it. You can D/L skins for it and make it look however you desire. It works for me !

If so, how..? A good idea, but from what I have heard, none of the clones yet have the full functionality of Windows ICQ ... not to mention that you need to have a UIN before you can use any of the linux ICQ clones.

RE: [newbie] Need Files
Greetings, If you have not received them by this evening let me know. I have them at home and have a 640K ADSL connection so sending them is not a problem. I should be home at 5:00 central time.

I need some help from someone who has just recently installed Linux-Mandrake 6.0. I need all the files in the directory of "/usr/share/gettext/intl/". I accidentally deleted the whole folder.

[newbie] Network printing
I can not seem to get my printer (physically attached to Mandrake box) to print from a network machine. It prints fine from Linux, but when I try to print from Win98 nothing happens. When I add the printer in Windows, I choose network printer and browse to the linux machine printer. It seems to install without problems, but doesn't work. Rich
RE: [newbie] DSL and Mandrake
Thanks Dan and Axalon, I will give that a try in the morning. And Dan the Cisco is plugged directly into the hub and I will be sending this E Mail with it. It works OK but I want to use IP masquerading on the Linux box and have everything go through it. Maybe not needed, but my experience so far with dial ups has been the Linux machine communicates better with the internet than a windows machine direct. I can explain it (maybe you know) but my web surfing has been faster on my windows machines when I route through Linux.. Faster than a direct modem connection. No Kidding. Besides, I have to "out cool" my buddies. A Linux box sitting there with TCPDUMP and a couple throughput graphs running make everyone go. Awe!!! Thanks again guys.

I am not sure what you meant by "where 2=x=254". I think maybe a typo in there. No typo -- x should be at least 2, but not more than 254. Unfortunately, the standard keyboard doesn't have a "less than or equal to" character, so I use "=" or "=" as I learned when programming in BASIC several years ago. The reason for two ethernet cards is because the Cisco 675 is an external router and it hooks up to a NIC with a crossover cable. So the first one is for the router and the second is for my small home LAN. Seems like you should be able to run the router to a hub, but I won't swear to that...
RE: [newbie] Kernel.
I installed the 2.2.7 kernel and did not install anything else. When it booted after the new kernel was installed I received some errors. I installed modutils with nothing else and the error went away. I was able to get my IP masqerading going and all worked well. So I didnt touch anything else.

I had to start a new thread sorry. I went the Mandrake website, They reference to the 2.2.3 kernel upgrade not the 2.2.9 kernel. Any which way. The file I DL for the kernel is kernel-2.2.9.tar.gz I did not DL and .i386.rpm or kernel-headers-2.2.x-x.i386.rpm does this matter. If I Downloaded the .tar.gz file does not that contain it all. Please let me know. Also It says to upgrade initscripts-3.91-3 and modutils-2.1.121-4 is that also really needed. Has anyone upgraded to the 2.2.3 or higher without upgrading the modutils or the initscripts files. Thanks, James
RE: [newbie] a suggestion needed from someone knowledgeable in Mandrake---PLEASE!!!
JM it is not to bad if you take it slow. The tricky part is knowing what options to compile into the Kernel. Once unzipped, and after you run make mrproper, you can run make config and determine what you want compiled into the kernel. IE Soundblaster support, PPP support, plug and play,IP masq.,etc The list of options is about 200 pages long. Really ! I would recommend you use the make xconfig command if you are using X windows. It is much easier and gives you a nice graphic summary of each item if you like. With "xcongfig" you will have to save it as a file name. I picked kernel-2.2.7. Once "configured" you run make dep make clean make zImage (or maybe make bzImage if it is a big kernel) make modules make modules_install When make zImage is done it will tell you what the new kernel name is. I renamed mine to kernel-2.2.7 and moved it to my "boot" directory. Edit a file called lilo.conf and change the line that shows the path to the old kernel to the new name (kernel-2.2.7). Save and at a shell, type lilo. You should be able to reboot and hopefully everything will work. There are several programs you need to upgrade to. There is a list at www.linuxhq.com/change22.html I received a couple errors on boot until I installed a couple of the updates. I think kernel-utils was one. I hope this helps. I am a newbie too SO if anyone see I am leading another newbie astray here, please chime in and set me straight...
