If we're going to help, we need some more information. What messages are you getting, when does it "cut out," what vpn client are you installing...? All of this is needed before we can even venture a guess as to what's going on. Fill in the blanks and I will gladly help as best as I can.
Sorry i was rushed and did not look over it. first i am using cisco vpn client. next i am not getting any error message the terminal just goes away, it does not say anything and does not have any time to install.
Okay, some clarification is needed. So, the installation of the client works okay, the problem exists in trying to use the client, yes? What command line are you using to call the client, and what exactly do you mean by "the terminal just goes away"?
No when i am instaling it, it does not install, it asks all different questions ex. where is your kernel bulid, where do you want the root folder... then do you want to continue and install. when i hit yes it exits the terminal instantly. it does not have any time to install and all the "folders" do not contain anything
I don't understand how the install is exiting the terminal... Are you running this from the command line, or are you double clicking on the install icon? run the command manually from the command line and that should keep it from exiting the terminal and maybe provide some more informatiuon for the failure...
it is vpnclient-linux-4.0.5.Rel-k9. I hope this helps... Also one thing that may help is it asks for the kernal modules and i have no idia where they are.
Sorry that this is random but this is killing me!!! I have a gateway laptop and they have a built in scroll key to the side. On windows this works fine, but on fedora it is to close for confert. i will click to change work spaces and then i will move my mouse and get to close to the scroll bar and it would move work spots again. also when on the internet i will get to close to the bottom and it will move back a page. it is geting to the point that if i cant fix the scroll to fit my liking then at least i would like to remove the scroll all togeather. but if there is a way to move the scroll area that would be the best.

I would suggest starting a new thread for that one. As far as the vpn client is concerned, what type of hardware is the VPN host that you are trying to connect to?
I do not know. all i know is it is a cisco firewall. also i tryed to install the devel (or what ever it was) and i still cant get it to work. i do not think it is the file because i also tryed to install ndiswrapper and it could not find it. when i installed the devel i did not do it from yum. i will try that later today.
also now i got ndiswrapper to work on it and i used the same source as it did and still no luck. If it is my Kernel build and it is not conpatible is there a way to by pass it or downgrade to get one to work?
