Why are you crossposting to alt.linux.sux?  You really only need to post it
to alt.linux or alt.os.linux.mandrake, not five different groups.

Why are you replying to my message if you don't have the answer.
If you can't answer to my questions.....don't reply.

The first thing you have to do is determine if you have PnP compiled into
your kernel and if you have the isapnp tools.

As root, try this;

pnpdump -c > isapnp.conf <enter>

Now have a look at the file you just created;

less isapnp.conf <enter>

You will notice most of it is commented-out - pay attention to those
portions that aren't.

Now, try this;

isapnp isapnp.conf <enter>

Let us know what messages, if any, you received.

Best regards,

Brian

Call up your ISP and ask them for the IP to their DNS server. Then open up
linuxconfig and put that IP in under DNS server... (Though ISP's are being
asked to support some form of scripting to automate this process for the Linux
user's.) Speaking of which, you might want to bring it up when you call them :)

DNS "Domain Name Service", it's what translates names into IP's.

Thanks all for your support, Now  I have make my sound card and my modem
detected. There is only one thing again. When I'm starting Netscape
navigator. It's looking like it working offline. I'm not able to go
anywhere. Is there something I have to do that I don't know ? In Windows, I
have a CD from my ISP that is configuring my account. What do I have to do
to configur my account with Linux. ?

Thanks to all for your support.

How do some of the ISP's (most of the free ones) work without DNS settings ? 
When I had to configure my linux machine, I had searched a lot of sites but
most of mentioned that DNS settings are automatic. I finally found one with
DNS settins and which ran ppp.

Most ISPs pass their DNS nameserver IP addresses to the client through PPP.

Check out pppd man page;

man pppd <enter>

Look for "usepeerdns" - place this directive in your /etc/ppp/options files.

Create a symbolic link from /etc/ppp/resolv.conf to /etc/resolv.conf like
this;

touch /etc/ppp/resolv.conf <enter>

ln -s /etc/ppp/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf <enter>

When ppp connects it creates dns entries in /etc/ppp/resolv.conf which are
symbolically linked to /etc/resolv.conf - the standard Linux position for
this file.

Best regards,

Brian

I thought the point of these newfangled newsgroup things was that
anyone could chip in if they wanted to ;-) 

It's a bit late to rewrite the rules. Oh and BTW one of them suggests
that you reply _Below_ the previous message.

I am trying to install Red hat 6.0 on a pc, and it takes the partitoins fine,
but it stops and wont find the mouse, and it completely stops the installation
there. Anyone have any suggestions on how I might remedy this?

What kind of mouse are you using?--

Skip the mouse installation step and get RHL installed first. Then log in as
root and configure the mouse separately using either one of the X tools or 
"mouseconfig".

Im afraid that I dont have the possibility to do that. Or it isnt listed in my
instal manuals that I got as text files on the cdrom. Have you any way to tell
me how to do this , step by step. ?
