The Idiots Guide comes with Caldera, I think, which was my first system. You might want to get them from a library, as you will probably quickly outgrow them.

Re: [newbie] what [FAILED], What's a *.GZ
Ralph Avery wrote: I'm a complete newbie to Linux, so this may seem a little lame to most of you. I've been following these messages for some time looking for information on how to configure, install, and use my sound card and modem. I have a VIA sound card that has a (Red Hat) Linux driver on the CD. It's a *.gz file. I tried to use gunzip to unzip it, but then I don't know what to do with it after that. Im fairly new myself, so you may want to read up before following these suggestions. Any old timers feel free to correct or expand on this. After you unzip it, check to see if it contained a text file of instructions. If it is source code, you may have to cd to the dir that you unzipped to, and do ./configure then ./make then ./make install. You may have to load the resulting module, see man insmod I noticed recently during the boot up process that I see a RED [Failed] go by. Most of what I see says [Passed]. I believe it has something to do with a sound card device failing, but it goes by too fast. (Is there any way to slow this down, or view a text file that shows the order in which things are executed, mounted, whatever, during the boot up process) You might be looking for the command dmesg I recently found out that my modem is obviously already configured for Linux. I configured a PPP connection that causes it to dial. I hear it dialing, I hear it connecting, but I have no way to check anything else. It will keep dialing and connecting about every 10 minutes, but I have no idea how to use that connection. Netscape doesn't show any way in it's GUI to configure it to use a specific PPP connection, and I can't get Netscape to navigate even when I'm connected. Check that your file /etc/resolv.conf contains your ISP's DNS addresses. Also try entering a numeric IP in Netscapes location bar, for instance http://216.32.74.51 will take you to Yahoo if everything is working but DNS.

Murray Strome I had to do this with Opera and others. First you may want to search the directory where you installed for a .xpm file. That, if there is one, may be the icon that isn't installed correctly. If you find one click on it to view it in Icon Editor. If it looks good, move it to /usr/share/icons and it will be available in your icon choices. You can draw one with Icon Editor and save it in the mentioned folder. Or what I do is find the apps icon in their docs or webpage. Take a screenshot with Gimp, crop the icon out of it trying to get it roughly square, then resize it to 32x32. Name it and save it to your /usr/share/icons and you're done. Just remember to give it an .xpm extension and make sure its 32x32. Gene
