Hi.
I was wondering if anyone knew what else could be done:
I am trying to set up ppp connection, but somehow my modem is not being
detected by wvdialconf. The modem is on COM2, but wvdialconf says that it
checks it and modem is not found.
I am using SupraExpress 336i Sp.
Andrew
if this is a Winmodem?
Any suggestions, please?
Andrew

Evening all.
Does anyone have experience in installing a PnP modem for Linux?
If you do, please contact me, I am having some problems.
Thank you,

I tried using pon mpool and nothing happened. So I thought I would try and
move /etc/ppp/peers/provider to my home directory to see what would happen
and I got the following message:
/usr/sbin/pppd: Can't open options file /etc/ppp/peers/provider no such
file or directory exists.

How do I get to the XF86 config from the command prompt? When I installed the
package it automatically led me to this configuration screen.

Hi I'm having trouble Starting X
I installed the version that came on 2.0 cdrom uder hamm
I have used X setup and I'm running a S3 Virge DX and have it configured and

What seems to be the problem? Does it not start, does it start and die,
what error messages you

the valid modes once you start X.and it's Ctrl +, or something like
that. It says at the mode screen.

Hello all.
I am trying to write my lilo.conf file, since when I was installing Linux,
I decided not to use Lilo, and just boot it from a floppy.
Right now I need to make use of Lilo, so here is my problem:
I got 2 IDE HD's , C and D, hda and hdb respectively
C contains win95
D has a small 20M DOS
Sure I can type
$ su root
at the promt and become root
Hrm, su --login root

Use LILO, that seems to be the only solution, other than loadlin
If you already installed Debian, and chose not to use LILO during the
