If you're using USB, you'll need a driver for your modem instead of for your network card. That'll be the same with any distro, but perhaps Fedora and Mandriva include those drivers in their kernels (I don't know).

He already has that driver, it's CDCEther. Slemany, try to disable your onboard network adapter through BIOS. That would be the easiest way to solve the problem. Then run netconfig.
For runlevel 4, edit /etc/inittab to have it say Code:
id:4:initdefault: Code:
id:3:initdefault: Install firefox from either mozilla.com or your favorite slackware mirror. Hope that helps... |
hi, i am glad to see that there are more people to help me now, i thank everyone.
my problems is i am not well familiar with linux, so when you say Quote:
and honestly i also don't know what runlevel4 is and where to type Quote:
thank you |
You don't type "edit /etc/inittab", you do it (i.e. it's an instruction to edit the file /etc/inittab). You can use any text editor to do this (vi, Emacs, pico, Kate, KWrite for example). You'll need to become root before editing the file. In a terminal you can run "su" (without the quotes) and then enter your password when prompted. Then run "editor /etc/inittab", replacing editor with the whatever you want to use. Note that executable names are usually lowercase, so if you want to use KWrite, you'd run "kwrite /etc/inittab". Also note that if you don't have a graphical user interface running at the moment, you'll not be able to use KWrite or Kate (and you'll also not be able to use Emacs if you don't have the emacs-nox package installed).

i would appreciate if someone could explain to me to do it correctly. |
After running su, did you enter your root password? What happens when you type "kwrite /etc/inittab" (without quotes and obviously, you need to press Enter!).
|
Post any error messages if they occur.
|
Hey guys thanks for stepping in.

I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THERE IS KWRITE INSTALLED ON MY SLACXKWARE11 SYSTEM INCASE YOU THINK IT IS NOT INSTALLED. |
I AS USUAL FORGOT TO TELL YOU THAT WHEN I TYPED SU NOTHING CAME UP AND DID NOT ASK FOR ANY PASSWORDS.
|
You were already root, so you didn't need to type su (I suggest you add a user account for yourself for normal use and only use root when necessary). Secondly, I did say executables were lowercase You need a space between the executable and the filename, obviously otherwise the shell is going to think it's looking for "kwrite/etc/inittab". How does it know otherwise?
Please don't type in all capitals, as it looks like you're shouting. |
