  1. That explains it. Do I have to download a telnet package now? Is SSH a similar package? Can I download and install it the same way as telnet?
  2. There are many entries for it but I haven't installed anything yet. Does this look correct?

    Telnet

    Is there something that I have to activate to use Telnet in Mandriva for the first time? I used to use Telnet to login to my ISPs mail server from Windwos all the time and have heard that the Linux Telnet is better but when I type "telnet" into a terminal, I get "command not found".
  4. I think that I will go to mandriva 2007. Can anyone recomend a relibable site to download from?
  5. When I boot into Windows I can play my .mp3 and other sound files with no problems. So now I need to follow Gowators instructions at the top of page 3 to install urpmi (with the subsequent suggestions by scarecrow about changing the links)? I had done that following those postings. Try it again?
  6. http://jesse.sasktelwebsite.net/Soundsystemtest.jpg No, that button plays no sound. Time for a new sound card?
  7. I don't know of anyway to get .mp3 files without some kind of sharing program. I have a thread open on pcguide and they were trying to help me install Java so that I could instal Limewire. Do you know a site were I can download .mp3 or something else?
  8. When I try that with Amorak I get the "some media cannot be loaded: http://jesse.sasktelwebsite.net/Amorak.jpg What else can I try? I know that the speakers are connected properly because sound works in Windows, the sound was muted bu default but is reenabled... Could the problem be with my soundcard? I have read that there is a hardware compatibility list for linux. Nine is a ICH2 810 Chipset AC'97 Audio Controler. Would that be on the list?
  9. If you mean this, I couldn't find it. http://jesse.sasktelwebsite.net/Soundsystem.jpg
  10. Do I have to download the alsaconf packages?
  11. I have DSL as well, anyway... I looked at some of the previous posts. That seems to be the right spelling. What does urpmi mean?
  12. I have entered those commands, line by line. You said that it would take a wile. It took less than ten minutes. Is that how long it should be? If all is what it is supposed to be, I can install alsaconf now? Is that the command "urpmi alsaconf alsa-utils alsa-plugins"?
  13. I used the Home icon on my desktop and found those .wav and .ogg files to try to play without amorak but I think that I may have broken someting already: http://jesse.sasktelwebsite.net/snapshot1.jpg http://jesse.sasktelwebsite.net/Soundsystem1.jpg http://jesse.sasktelwebsite.net/Soundsystem2.jpg
  14. cd /usr/share/sounds and there are plenty of files there for .wav and .ogg None of those will play when accessed through Amorak.
