I can't install Kpackage or anything else, as I can't get online to download the packages from the repositories. :(

I honestly can't remember whether I tried the apt-get and rpm commands the first...

I finally found some information about adding a local repository (by adding the path to the sources.list file like you mentioned), but I couldn't get it to work. (Probably I'm doing something...

...and thought I'd comment on my first impressions.

(I have previously had ELX Linux PowerDesk 1.0 installed for a little while, and that's all I have to compare it to, besides Windows.)

The...

Well, I'm still working on switching to Linux (if I could ever manage to get online that would be a big step, since internet/email is most of what I do on the computer), but my reason is an extreme...

A little bit of background ... I have been using computers since DOS, and have progressed through Win 3.x, 95, and 98. (Dh has XP, but I don't mess with it much because I don't like it.) I am...

Well, stupid me, with all this back-and-forth between Windows and Linux, I missed that I was using a defunct number. So I don't have the authentication problem anymore. What I do have is even more...

Well, I was really excited that I finally got my modem to work, until I got the following error message:

"The pppd daemon died unexpectedly! Exit Status: 19 See 'man kpppd' for an explanation...

I'm already lost. But maybe that's just because I have to keep logging out and rebooting in Windows to get online. So I will try again, if and when I can manage to get online from Linux.

I am...

I am completely new to Linux. I've actually had it installed for over a year now (dual-boot, with Windows 98), but can't stay logged into it on a regular basis because I've never been able to get...

So, if I were to buy a new modem, intending it to be easily compatible with Linux (in other words NOT a softmodem), how would I know what to look for?

(I'm hoping I can get this piece of junk to...

How does one determine whether a modem is a "winmodem" or not? I know my old one was - it was *called* a winmodem. My new one is not, but it still doesn't work under Linux. Is it probably a...
