    I've several different flavours but unfortunetally you are in the wrong bit of the country. Someone with fast internet up your way should be able to download them.

    Most flavours are on the ftp2.jetstreamgames.co.nz server so can be downloaded at very quick rates. (7-10 minutes at work )

    Any Linux nuts know how to get my internet working on my Linux??

    currently with wired country, so have a blck box that plugs into the network port on the comp, and then goes to the roof dish.

    I am running Redhat 2.4.18-14, and need to intsall a PPPoE client, or do I??
    Seem to be able to see the device "3com 3c501" in eth0 but thats as far as I get.

    I thought this version kernel came with a PPP.. thingy but cant seem ot get net working on linux!! and with all my crazy lecturers demanding linux goodness

    3c501 is your ethernet card.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    I'm not sure what you need for "wired" interent but if you need pppoe have a look at rp-pppoe. I think that's what you need. If you could give me a bit more of an idea what your problem is/what you have done etc, I'll try and give you a better answer. Haven't played round with pppoe much but shouldn't be too much from pppoa etc.

    Download Fedore, Red Hat's free version. It's not too large, and a pretty nice implementation.
    Let me know if you want a copy.

    I have a copy Mandrake 9 or 10 your welcome to grab. I play around with Linux in the winter when I have the time, run Xp in summer, (no time). Wife prefers XP.
    The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.

    under the networking options there the card above mentioned as being in eth0, but for the life of me I cant get it to active, I have got a roaring penguin PPPoE on it now but I is thinking that the fact the eth0 wont active as a prob.

    used "ifconfig eth0" in the terminal to see if that could see it but no, where to go from here?? could it be a driver problem with linux and the card??

    Looked at where my windows was connecting to the net and it is through the WAN miniport (PPPoE), which in the device manager is at ROOT\MS_BRIDGEMP\0000, could this need a driver for linux???

    ps I aint no IT genius so dumb it down a shade in the replies please techno people
