Hi, im trying to install my intel HaM 536ep chipset modem but it wont "make install", i get the error "unknowen distro" its really annoying because in the readme it says slackware is surrported, and i cant get my sound going ive got a nforce sound chipset it seems to have detected the sound but im not sure how to turn it on or if its installled properly etc etc, all help is much loved.

This has been asked 1,000,000,000,000 times before but ill ask it again how do i get my scroller to work in Slack, i remember u add a line into fstab or sumthing but my mem is blank and i dnt have time at this moment to find out how im just quickly typing this up, sorry for bad spelling and lack of infomation etc ill get back later if anything is needed.

Thank You. Thank You

nzboy2004; recommend u acquire Linux Complete
a book by Sybex,pub. economica. $15. and or read anything linux as reference on HOWTO. they do help.
that is how i am able to help in this manner. i too am
a Newbie, believe it or not i am. but i read anything -everything linux, just to be knowledgable & confident.
rewards GREAT!

Ive been down the libaray but they dont have anygood books and i cant afford anything really, i really need help people im trying to change to linux alltogether but cant till i get atleast the net working so i can ask questions etc.

Update ive got the sound working just adjusted sumthing and goes fine now, ive done everything i need to do before my change but install my modem driver and get onto the net can any1 help i see someone has reviewed my modem and said they got it working under slackware so ther must be some1 who can help i relly need it.

Update i fixed everything my self using wot i knew. Linux is running perfectly.
