If the modem has jumpers on it, then you're golden. Just "cat /proc/interrupts" and pick an empty IRQ to set it to. "cat /proc/ioports" will give you a list of used ioports, and you can use that to set up jumpers too. To see if the card is recognized and what IRQ it is set on in hardware, do

Configure your kernel and try "make dep clean bzImage kernels kernels_install" and then do the usual kernel moving and lilo stuff. If you change anything, you have to run "make dep" to remake the dependencies. Otherwise, things don't work like you want them to. Also, it's a good idea to "make

You could either 1) Invest in a couple of cd-burners and fast cd drives. It's not exactly real-time, but hey, we're talking windows here. 2) Install samba on a Linux box. It's not too bad (in fact, if you need this type of service, it kicks booty), and there are even gui's to set up the

Gnome is the "great unfinished project" and works even though you know it'll get better. It has lots of potential, but we'll see where it goes. KDE is good and easy to transition to, but has funky licensing. Why no just run a real wm without all the extra crap on top of it? --Mike Bob Miller

The problem's not with kpackage, it has to do with distribution incompatibilities--most likely the .rpm's were built with Red Hat in mind, and you're using Mandrake, so the .rpm's said they needed the additional support packages, but you probably had the right software installed, just not the
