Sorry mate! :^) >> I still can't get the modem to respond using kppp. I have tried all >> your earlier suggestions, and still kppp says it can't find the modem. Definitely can't get the modem working. I have added the alias serial macserial to modules.conf, and the correct message appears in dmesg. >> Going back to check the rpm -K suggestion! This appeared ok too. I had no messages. And I also managed to get stuff installing off the CD's using Software Manager... I copied the two hdlist files off CD1, and put them in a /mnt/base folder. I then updated the relative pointers in Software manager, and I succesfully saw the file sizes of all packages in the lists. I couldn't see it before. Iguess first question... should the hdlist2.cz be on the second CD?? Its not on the one I have, but it IS in the base folder on the first CD. > OK - what machine do you have again?

And I ran into heaps of problems trying to install Gnome. I know you said there were issues in beta 1, and I think I ran into them all... lots of packages not on the CD's. One other I get when logging into KDE is an error message when initialising the sound driver... 'device /dev/dsp can't be opened', bit the start up sound still plays?? I'm giving up for the night!! Would really like to get the modem going if you have any other ideas. Thanks Stew Nick
