I can't setup my ISP connection in Linux RedHat 5.1
I read ppp-HOWTO, where it says that my kernel must be compiled with
'support to ppp' or similar. I tried with:
# dmesg | less
and seems it's NOT compiled with this option.
Then I'm trying to compile my kernel FOR MY FIRST TIME (high risk
decision :) ) and when I try:
# make config
it sends to me an Error msg-
The kernel source code should be in
/usr/src/linux
and I may see there is a directory:
/usr/src/linux-2.0.34-0.6
and a
/usr/src/linux
which seems to be a link to previous directory.
But the command:
# make config
or:
# make xconfig
still doesn't work.
I follow:
I cannot find in my redhat's CD any file like:
linux-Version-Release.tar
as I guess that the kernel's file name begins with 'linux-...'.
MUST I, then download it from sunsite.unc.edu or a mirror?
Aren't my kernel source in my CD ???
I just installed it from it and seems to work more or less fine, with
some bugs... but it works... :(
Any hint?
Any easier way to configure my ppp connection?
I'm not in a LAN.
Just single user with modem connection to my ISP...
And my modem seems to work fine when I connect to a BBS through linux
(minicom).
