Why don't you use Synaptic to install minicom?

hi,
I noticed in ubuntu 6.10 cd has no minicom tool package.

Instead of using the CD, have you tried installing minicom from the internet (using Synaptic)?

Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic Synaptic

Figure out how to use it. It will save you many headaches.

hi

i build the kernel 2.6.19 on my pc. which has FC5,2.6.16.1.2.6.17.7 and 2.6.18 kernels.
1)when i boot in to the 2.6.19 kernel, mouse(ps/2 logitech) and keyboard(logitech) are hangup after few minutes.USB mouse and USB keyboard are working fine.
2) no detection of USB pen drive.

I noticed the above mentioned problems only on 2.6.19 kernel.
please help me

1. The PS/2 problem is a bug in Fedora. Go back to Linux 2.6.18. See these links:
