Guest xalen Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Just had to reinstall mandrake and tried to follow my points. Sleeper service is right. You need to open the mandrake installer. Search for bc (i'm still not sure if you need gcc because I did it before without installing it) but I searched for both bc and gcc and installed both. I got some errors installing because I don't have disk 4. I went to the software management tool and deselected disk 4. Didn't complain this time. Then it was complaining about not finding pppd. Did a search in the installer for ppp and installed all that it came up with. Followed lets eat gary's instructions, with the modem plugged in and it all worked fine. Thanks once again lets eat gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pru Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 i don't get it :o become root and ./speedtouchconf.sh < how and what does the last bit mean? you will have to enter your username and password and your vpi/vci < where? - in the uk its 0 38 set it to load at boot < how?

Guest s0undt3ch Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 i don't get it :o become root and ./speedtouchconf.sh < how At a shell type su, you'll be asked to enter root's password, type it and hit enter. and what does the last bit mean? Again at the shell, and as root now type ./speedtouchconf.sh you will have to enter your username and password and your vpi/vci < where?- in the uk its 0 38 Once you do the previous step, you'll be asked about username, password and your VPI(blank space here)VCI. set it to load at boot < how? Go to Mandrake Control Center ---> System ---> Services ---> and add a check-mark on the speedtouch check-box service. Hope It helps!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest s0undt3ch Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 helps alot thanks, but 1 more question, how do i get to 'the shell'? total linux n00b here, but when i got the basics there'll be no stopping meh <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, that depends!!! :P Did you instal Konsole? RXvt? Well, open your Star(t) Menu, then to System submenu, then to the Terminals submenu, and there you'll find all the terminals/shells you installed. Simply use the one you have, it'll do!!!
