I want to install network driver in fedora core but I don’t know how, actually I don’t know the command’s which I should type in terminal to install that

Thanks

Ok dude, where going to need a bit more information

1) Fedora should have done this on boot anyway, but as root, try and "ifconfig eth0 up" It might have detected your card, just not bought it up. If that didn't work...

2) As root, try this "dmesg |grep eth" or "dmesg |grep Eth" and see if the kernel recognized your network card. If it did, just google for the driver.

3) What type of network card do you have? If your not to sure, as root, use the command lspci. If your still not sure, post the results here.

Google is your friend

Good Luck
Kristijan

[root@localhost root]# dmesg | grep eth

divert: not allocating divert_blk for non-ethernet device lo
divert: not allocating divert_blk for non-ethernet device sit0
***INVALID CHECKSUM 0002*** <7>divert: allocating divert_blk for eth0

this is what i get and also there is dual boot windows working on same network card but fedora wont
i can ping ever thing i LAN but out side i cant
weird ):

on command ifconfig eth1 up the answer is nothing

After you do an "ifconfig xxx up", as root, then do "ifconfig" and paste the contents here.

**Note: xxx = yor ethernet device. Try eth0, eth1, etc.

Here you go dude

I can ping inside LAN but outside I cant and also i have two dns, but there in fedora when you type "netifconfig " is only space for one; is there any chance to type both and if is can you show how to do, and by the Way thank you very much.

To add another nameserver, edit your /etc/resolv.conf file and just add a new line with;

nameserver x.x.x.x

I have question how to install xine player. I download xine-lib-1-rc4.tar.gz, xine-ui-0.99.2.tar.gz and also i unzip ed them with "tar xfvz xine-ui-0.99.2.tar.gz" and same time with other one I have try to type ./xine-lib-1-rc4.tar.gz ,
-i xine-lib-1-rc4.tar.gz, install xine-lib-1-rc4.tar.gz but nether of those work. So if anybody can answer on this question.

Never had the need to use xine. I prefer MPlayer. I'm going on assumption here here, but you should be able to do a simple "./configure && make && make install" To be sure though, once you have unpacked the .tar.gz file, cd into the directory it creates.

Within this folder, there should be a README.txt or and INSTALL.txt, or something similar. Take a read over this, and make note of any option you need to use.

Just to re-run over it

Do this for all the xine files you downloaded.

If you can't get it working this way, you can always use APT to install xine. Synaptic [1] is a graphical frontend for APT, if your new to APT, this is good to use.

Good Luck, and post back with your results.

OK well i tried this, and it didn't work i may have downloaded the wrong file, but anyways i wanted to try that APT if you could explain to me how to use That APT and by the way what is that.

i did it just like you said with this code
and when everything is done i type in terminal as root xine& and message says the xine couldn't be found


Thank you

Apt-get RPM is based on the same principle as apt-get for Debian, in that it works out all the depenencies for you when installing packages. To install apt-get on Fedora core 2, download this [1] and this [2].

As root, "cd" to the directory where you downloaded these two RPMs and go:

rpm -Uvh apt-0.5.15cnc6-1.1.fc2.fr.i386.rpm apt-devel-0.5.15cnc6-1.1.fc2.fr.i386.rpm [enter]

(If using konsole, you can copy and paste the above command, without "[enter]" of course...)

Both should install without incident. Next, you must update your machine with apt by going:

apt-get update [enter]

After it finishes, do apt-get update a second time.

When it is through downloading the updates, you will next need the front end for apt which is called "Synaptic."

Still as root go:

apt-get install synaptic

When it is done installing synaptic, just type:

synaptic [enter]

The Synaptic front end will now come up. It is very intuitive, and you shouldn't have too difficult a time figuring out how to use it.

This is working but i don't really know how to use this, also i downloaded rpm packages and installed so easy. now i want to make extended partition end logical volume on that hard drive i have one hard drive with dual boot there is three primary partition one is windows 7500 MB and other two are swap with 900MB and / with 7500 MB so when i type fdisk -l (enter) it ask me what i want i know N stands for "new partition but whit those cylinders and specifies size i am not really good if you can to explain that
Thanks

I'm not really sure what your asking. Try googling and using the search function on these forums, more then likely you will find you answer there.

Kristijan

OK I ' ll try that thanks man also do you know how to use APT just show me the first couple steps I main some commands thanks

If you installed Synaptic, you wont have to worry about commands and what such. For a full list of commands though, read the man page for atp-get once installed.

So thats after you have installed those rpm's in the above post, do a "man apt-get" (Without the " ")
