Newbie trying to load some modem drivers and have noticed several files are locked, so I am stuck halfway thru the install. After unzipping modem driver file into my home folder in mdk 10.0, there are several file icons that are locked. I right clicked to get to permissions, but everything is greyed out. Went to Mandrake Control Center and opened security>permissions>custom settings>add a rule> but cannot unlock the file. If I try to open this modem install text file there is no errror message, just that KWrite opens with no text. I have a similar modem installation text file for a different driver for the same modem that opens with no problem. I also tried CHMOD, but no luck. Any help out there? Thanks [moved from Tips & Tricks by spinynorman]

Uh oh. Just read the docs with the modem stating compatible with kernel 2.4.x and does not say if compatible with newer kernels. I am pretty sure the MandrakeLinux 10.0 is 2.6.3-7 I typed in urpmi kernel-source-2.6 output: everything already installed As you can see from my previous post, there is trouble after the 'make 536ep' command. Thanks for any help

Is this a command you're running yourself, or is generated by some script? It's sending your shell prompt to the shell, obviously generating garbage! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> sorry, I should be more clear about what I put in and what comes out! I did not enter this command. The last one I entered was the [root@localhost Intel-536ep-443]# make 536ep as per the installation instructions and the rest of it is what got spit back out. Any help would be appreciated. I have spent close to a month on this (no DSL here), and am fading fast. (yes I know about external serial modems being easier, but would like to learn this also). Thanks

OK, installed kernel headers per urpmi and got a little further: these are install instructions for the modem drivers 1. login as ROOT 2. extract the archive into a directory with "tar -zxvf <archivename>.tgz" 3. cd into the directory it created. 4.

2/4/2005 Newbie installing Intel controller- based internal PCI dialup modem (no DSL in my area). Have already had success with external serial modem install in Mandrake Linux 10.0 Kppp, but could not log on due to AOL incompatibility with Linux. Tried pengAOL dialer. Spent about a week ..... that fizzled out. Would like to try this modem and have found other ISP. Have installed modem in PC Have copied the following Linux modem driver files from supplied CD to: /home/mark/Linux/Intel-536ep-443 Intel-536ep-443-M82.tgz Intel-536ep-443-R72.tgz Intel-536ep-443-S80.tgz Intel-536ep-443.tgz Am not quite sure which file to use, but started with the last one.

Newb.... am now 1 month into this modem thing. Using Best Data external hdwr modem. answers OK in minicom and has been configured in ML 10.0 Kppp. Have existing AOL acct. Just found out AOL doesn't support Linux. Please leave the AOL thing alone ....don't have DSL or broadband in boonies.....its cheap and it works. Modem dials out...connects... then hangs up error 16 or 19(modem hangs up or fails to authenticate). Have now downloaded peng1.05.tar.gz on a Wxp machine and transferred to floppy which I now have in ML 10.0 PC. Have read the install file on peng site. It just says unpack and install file etc. Am new to command line. Can anyone direct me to a good tutorial that gives explicit instructions on how to: 1. copy the file from floppy 2. where to copy it to... 3. how to unpack it (unzip?) 4. etc...... Many of these how tos assume that the user already knows some of these basic procedures and the syntax necessary to perform them but I don't. If someone wants to walk me thru ... I would appreciate. I have a printer working now; if I could just get this internet hookup working I could continue learning more about CL and Linux. Thanks

Don't have DSL or Cable in our area. Using dial up with Best Data 56k external serial hardware modem (says Linux compatible on box) on COM 1 . Has been configured in Kppp. Was originally instructed by tech support to open minicom which I did not even know was not installed. Installed it, then found out Kppp is the KDE interface to minicom. Modem answers query so I assume it is installed. Anyway...... I already have wmconnect ISP account (AOL knockoff). It works fine and is cheap. Now trying it from Mandrake 10.0 and I hear the modem dial then "handshake" then quiet like it is trying to connect,then error..."pppd daemon has unexpectedly died error 16". This means the modem hung up. Maybe it means the ISP modem hung up ? Anyway, I have tried minicom commands and all configuration combinations in Kppp..no luck. I have also been to linmodem and winmodem sites...no luck. The modem works in Windows. I called my ISP. They claim their software is not Linux compatible and therefore I cannot use their service. I explained that I dont need their browser, but tech still thinks it is incompatible. Is this true? Do I have to use Linux compatible ISP? Am very new to Linux and would like to get online before trying all kinds of hairy modem commands. Please offer GUI solutions as well as CL. Any ideas? Thank you

Newbie has been reading FAQ's, posts and tutorials for several days now and decided to try dual boot, which seemed to go without a hitch. Read Static's post on dual install on same HD and created three partitions on 17gb HD. 9gb for W2k (NTSF), 4gb (FAT32) for files and left final 4 gb unpartitioned and unformatted. I did not do custom partitioning during the ML 10 install and selected "setup ML 10 on free space". Also read many articles about creating a floppy and booting into repair and reassigning LILO to MBR etc.... I did none of this and the LILO graphic comes up and lets me choose Linux or Windows. What were all the complicated procedures about and/or am I missing something and just don't know it yet? At this point, the whole install seems to have gone smoothly. Thanks for any enlightenment

Newbie would like to migrate to ML 10 on PC with 800 mhz CPU, 128mb RAM, 20gb HD, and W2000 (NTFS) installed (hardware checks out as compatible). Read Static's FAQ and got impression that W2k should be reinstalled first, with 3 partitions (what sizes?) and a swap space, and then ML 10 after, or is the ML 10 disk partition utility able to do this on the HD with W2000 already installed? Also there is reference to installing on 2 different HD's. I suppose I would install HD for W2k on Pri IDE master and HD for ML 10 on Pri IDE slave. Have read some about moving boot.ini or boot loader into MBR on first 8gb of HD, etc. Sounds complicated and am not sure I even know what the Master Boot Record is, where it is, and what to do with it in context of my question, much less where or HOW to access or manipulate it. Or will ML10 take care of that for me? Thanks for any help.
