I will recieve SuSE Linux 6.0 Tuesday. I will install cleanly, using YAST,
and retaining nothing of previous installation? Why? Because I never got
pppd not to drop the connection, and installing DEMO OSS found it had
expired already.
I run a Gateway 2500 "SOLO" laptop.
My questions are these basic four:
#1.) Is the "new" kernel some where as a binary I just download and replace
in a directory for another...what are the steps for this?
#2.) Has configuring PCMCIA services changed? I have a modem card, (NOT a
winmodem).
#3.) How to I "turn on" or set up OSS
#4.) In that the defaults, I believe, are for networked not dial up
computers, I beieve some ppp problems are due to conflicts with processes
not needed by a dial up box, but set in motion by the scripts in YAST. In
other words, there are two many cooks in the kitchen, and a newbie doesn't
know what he or she doesn't need to keep, or need to dismiss, or how to go
about it.
Thank you for your patience.
An Abject Newbie
