Okay, I have two Linux systems installed on my PC - SuSE 9.1 and Linux XP Professional (Russian version of Fedora Core 1).

I tried to install Webmin on both systems using Konsole with no success. Both times using command rpm -ivh webmin.....(etc) starts up the installation process, but installation fails with the following error:
error 2 installation failed unable to identify operating system

Any ideas how I can fix this problem? And yes, I did download the rpm version of webmin...

Any help greatly appreciated, I'm

Check this site, question #17
http://info.netcomo.net/webmin/faq.html

Thanks very much, that pointed me to the correct place! Managed to get webmin installed on both Linux OSes following the instructions on the Webmin site and all worked perfectly - that is until I rebooted the machine!
Now when I try to access it in my browser window, I get the following error:
The connection was refused when attempting to contact linux:10000
or
www.linux.com not found.
On Fedora Core it's normally http://localhost:10000/ and on SuSE http://linux:10000/

Okay, have just sorted it out! One of these "Windows thinking" moments, I'm afraid - keep forgetting to start/stop services on Linux - Webmin now up and running on a secure server, too!
