Guest balatsoukas_p Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Hello. I just installed Mandrake Linux 10.0, and there is no way I can get my (internal - PCI) modem to work... I read in a book about linux, something i would like to try, and it involved the use of a command, setserial. When I tried the command in a console, it is not recognised as one! I tried "whereis setserial", and "man setserial", but again it looks as if this command does not exist. Could anyone inform me how could this have happened? in advance. Pavlos, Greece.

Steve Scrimpshire Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 It just didn't get installed. Install the pkg called setserial with this command as root in a console: urpmi setserial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Noob here. When I installed Mandrake 10 several weeks ago I found that setserial was not in the 3 installations CD's I was using. When I attempted to install it, Mandrake asked for CD number 4?? I downloaded a setserial rpm package file (setserial-2.17-7mdk.i586.rpm) off of the web after doing a google search. I needed this to get my USR PCI hardware modem to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 interesting.... It's on the official mirrors and not contrib so it should be on one of the 3 cd's. Considering some people need it to even get connected, and considering its size, and can't image that they purposely left it off to save space for other things. http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.p...ubmit=Search+... http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idp...k.i586.rpm.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 kernel-source at 150MB is quite a bit diff than little old setserial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
