best way is to go and buy a magazine.... a lot come with the whole lot plus shite loads of apps..
Dick smith sell a dvd or set of cd's of it for less than $5, they've got a couple of different distros.
What magazine would that be?Originally Posted by Blakamin
i'll check it out on payday if I can't scrounge a copy first.Originally Posted by MrMelon
heaps of 'em... there used to be a linux one like netguide....Originally Posted by Big Dog
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.Originally Posted by sAsLEX
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.Originally Posted by sAsLEX

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.
yeah tried one of the roaring penguin PPPoE yesterday 2.8 or something but after unzipping it it would not make!! So am going to try a diff version and see if i have the same problem!Originally Posted by dhunt
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.
only use linux for writing in C as required at uni, got a software geek to install linux for me as I am not too shit hot on the partitioning thing etcOriginally Posted by Judderbar
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.Originally Posted by celticno6
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
