need a network connection to read them.

It can't be the responsibility of the Linux community to teach you how
to read news groups. There is a difference between making things easy
for people and spoon feeding them.

You are right that there are different ways to install stuff on Linux,
and that you can't really know how it works for your newly acquired
program, before you have browsed through the documentation. Usually
however, it doesn't take a Ph.D. degree to figure it out. Apart from the
extra typing and reading, Linux users also usually have to deal with
compiling source code. However we have the advantage, that we get a
second chance if we make a blunder or changes our minds. In windows if
you install something, the procedure often replaces different system
files without warning (and you can't get it back to the way it was,
because the originals were overwritten), and if you foolishly delete a
wrong file without the install shield's consent, the registration
database just stays infected, unless you REALLY know what you are doing.

Actually it is a bit hard to compare the difficulty of installing Linux
vs. Windows, since most new PC's are sold with Windows pre installed. If
everybody had to install Windows themselves, I'm sure a lot of people
would need help with that too. That said, I agree that there are more
details involved with installing Linux than Windows. For example
hardware producers usually don't ship their products along with Linux
drivers, so the Linux user will have to search for it himself, and even
has to check if there at all exists a driver, before choosing the type
of hardware to purchase. When you are complaining that it is difficult
to connect to the Internet via Linux, and that it is a lot easier in
Windows, you should think about how it would have been, if there wasn't
any driver disk for Windows included with your modem. Actually when this
fact is taken into consideration, it is surprising that Linux isn't a
lot harder to install. It's not easy, but it is not impossible either.
It is easy to say that more attention should be paid to make the Linux
installation procedure more user friendly, but one of the big
differences in philosophy between Linux and Windows is the idea about
how many choices the computer should make on the user's behalf. Windows
95/98 don't even bother to ask if it is okay to overwrite the MBR, or if
the partitioning scheme suits the users needs. It is so bad, that if you
try to install IE from a CD, and the install shield finds a network
adapter, it INSISTS on downloading the newest version from the Internet,
NO matter if there is actually a connection to the Internet or not, or
the user thinks he/she can afford the download time, or the version on
the CD is actually up to date. Did anyone say waste of resources and
false assumptions? You may say about Linux that the control over how the
installation should be configured comes on the behalf of user
friendliness, but that is a question of personal taste, and you can't
please everybody.
Please do also take into account that there are a plethora of ways a
Linux box can be configured, depending on what use it is intended for.
I also want to object to your statement that the documentation is hard
to find. I usually advise people to buy a good book, but if you don't,
there is still help to get, even before you start the installation. If
you for example have a RedHat install CD, ALL the HOWTO's can be found
in html format on the disc, as well as the official RedHat installation
guide. I don't know what more you want. A Windows Install shield, that
helps you create the boot discs, and in the end directs you to the
HOWTO's? (Hmm... That might actually be a good idea. And maybe an
autostart file, so the newbie don't even have to figure out where the
setup file is located).

No offense taken. I just never got the answer to my simple question: Why
did the guy feel it to be necessary to tell everybody here that he had
given up? Well, I guess we'll never know, since he most probably have
unsubscribed to this group.

in netscape 4.5, there _is_ a 'file bookamrk' item. Another way is to
drag and drop the little bookmark symbol just to the right of the
bookmark menu button on it, and you achieve the same thing, except you
will now be able to place the bookmark wherever you want in the menus
instead of the bottom of selected folder. (this works in netscape
4.0.x also iirc).

No you don't. Put delays into the phone number: 0,,,555-1234
The commas specify the modem should wait before dialing. This will
ensure that the outside connection really is up and actually gets
the phone number you are dialing. Otherwise, it is a crap shoot.
Vary the number of commas to what works.
Note that the modem can only take a maximum of 40 characters input in
many cases. This includes two command characters you don't see. So
count if there are a lot of characters in your dial string.

In general: unpack the tarball. Find the README file. Read it. Find
the INSTALL file. Read it. Follow directions.
For well-packaged software, this should be sufficient. Similarly,
with well-packaged software, one doesn't need to worry about things
like tarballs unpacking into the current directory. (I generally do a
'tar tvzf <file>' before I unpack, just in case.) With well-packaged
software, the installation procedure generally goes something like
'./configure <configure-flags>; make; sudo make install', though there
are no guarantees that this will do the right thing. Always RTFM.
Nothing keeps the install process from munching your hard drive. You
have been warned.

Plus the developers are VERY attentive to users wishes. I asked for
better support for Qt specific issues, and I am pretty sure that I was
the first person to propose that, because I got a reply explaining how
to get around it, by hacking a bit, but not long after a new version
came out with all the Qt support you could wish for, even color coding
for special Qt constructs. That is what sold me.
Is WipeOut still out there? Is it because it is very bad, that nobody
has mentioned it? Anyway, I've heard about it and checked out the home
page, but I haven't given it a try.
There are as far as I know a few GUI builders available, but my
experience with such stuff is that it doesn't make your life any easier
in the long run. More often than not, you will have to spend a lot of
time figuring out what is going on. Having written the entire program
yourself gives you a much better feeling of how the code is structured,
and debugging gets easier, because you have a better intuition of where
there may be weak spots.

OK, I loaded RH 5.2 and got everything set up except for the networking
part. RH setup couldn't detect the card. It is a D-Link DFE-530TX (not a
card that RH recognizes). So I went poking around on the web and newsgroups
and found a link that took me to the C++ code (the via-rhine.c file).
Here's where my troubles began. What exactly do I do with this?

Again, RH 5.2 didn't help as it couldn't see the card.
I'd like to get this box set up for the network soon, as I plan to install
either Cable Modem access or ADSL soon, and I want this to be my gateway/web

It can be difficult - I still can't get Linux to recognise my
middle
mouse button... And I've been playing with Linux for about 6
years!
I've also worked with unix(SunOS/Slowlaris) everyday for the last
10 years.(And NT too for the last 4 years)
OTOH With Linux you do have to get used to a text based
existence.

There is an element of smugness around. Linux still has an awful
long
way to go compared to Apple Mac, AIX, and Woindows NT/98 for non
technical users. But for techies its a great way to get a cheap,
stable and fairly efficient OS running.

Actually Linux is *hard* to install, when you compare it to Windows, OS2 and
the like.
Much work has been done on making installation easier but even so, its still
not perfect. I have a good system with good well known cards and yet Linux
needs help in setting up my sound card, video card and network card.
Not a problem under Windows.
However, try this on a Dec Alpha and Linux will seem lovely!
