i was thanking you for you answer and asking for any thing else. like i said i have no idea what i'm dooing. it took me 5 hrs to make it see my mouse.
please accept my appoligies. and forgive my spelling.
oh BTW it will not ./configure. i have no idea what that means but that is what the text file told me to do.

are you trying to configure in the console?
i use konsole, to make it easy on you do this
log out and log back on as user root with your root "administration" password
now open konsole super user mode
that will give you all access rights,
follow your direction again to get to the file then run the ./configure
after that im sure you will have to run make then make install? just guessing,
i just switched back to mandrake hoping i can get it to network,
i tried redhat 8.0 for 48 hrs almost straight and no luck,
i did ip masquerading,deleted ip chains,
setup ip tables,
installed dhcp , and dhcpd
and the most i got was no internet connection at all,
not even my main connection for just the linux box which i had from first boot
hopefully i can get mandrake to work it out,
i do like redhat better though but i will wait until i feel more comfortable with linux,
i suggest you think about that option as well
