Hello,

in fact install process highly depends on your distro... for example, Debian uses .deb extensions and apt-get command, Fedora uses rpm, Slack uses sources...
So tell us which distro you use or what kind of extension have the package you want to install and someone will be able to help you.

Hi,
i'm using RedHat 8
And the type of the packet, I think, i'm not sure is RPM.

I have problem with my modem too.
I install it, but I can't find the dialer. Please tell me were to look. Thanks for helping me.

to install a rpm package, log as root (type su in a console and you'll be prompted for the root password) and then type: rpm -ivh my_package.rpm
I think that you also have the possibility to use a graphical software manager, but as I've never used RedHat8 I'm not sure.
For your dialup connection: 2 solutions... the simplest one is to use a graphical assistant like Kppp and the other is to do it by hand by modifying file located in /etc/ppp/ . But if you are newbie, search for a graphical assistant wink.gif

As the driver is probably installed as a module you need to insert the module thanks to "insmod" or "modprobe" command (as root of course). If you don't know the module name, all I can say is that it's probably in:  "/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/" or one of its subdirectories.
If everything is good when you insert the module, it should create the appropriate device node... else you have to do it with "mknod" comand

About the frontend for your internet connection: gnome-ppp may fit your requirements. The only problem is that you'll have to compile it... But don't worry you should have a README or INSTALL file provided with the package which will all explain you wink.gif
there's also gnome dial but it works with gnome2 and I dunno if RedHat8 has gnome2 support....

Hope this help you

Hai all...

I tried the gnome-ppp But I couldn't figure out on how to install it. I am using Fedora Core 1 with 2.4.2.2115 kernel.

Can anybody help me. I went through the INSTALL and Readme files but I couldn't understand it.

thanks

Hi,

I think there's a package manager for FC1 to easily install your packages (see rpm and urpmi)
