Hello I'm a new Linux-user and are excited about the enthusiasm the users of the Internet shows for this operatingsystem. And now me too :-) I have some questions though: 1) How do I setup a dial-up to my Internetprovider? (A how-to would be nice) 1A) Which programs do I use? 2) How do I setup my soundcard (SB16)? Yours Lasse Laegteskov

Look at the Net and PPP howtos.
>1A) Which programs do I use?
You use PPP. I suggest you hunt a program called EzPPP if you
are using X windows, as it has a nice simple interface.
Else you just set up PPP as per the howtos.

You have to recompile your kernel. Make sure you have
the kernel source installed, go to /usr/src/linux
and read the README file. do make cohnfig or make menuconfig
or make xconfig, answer the questions, make the new kernel
with soundcard support, and reboot.
Then you need to get programs that use the soundcard.

Look in your system under the directory /usr/doc/faq/howto/ for loads of howto's on Sound, PPP and more. If you don't have them, surf over to any of the usual linux web sites. http://www.linux.org is a good start. Howto's are all over the web. If you are really a newbie, you should seriously consider going to your local bookstore or computer store and seeking out a book on Linux. "Running Linux" is a favorite. You might also want to look for "A Practical Guide to Linux" by Mark Sobell. have fun. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Omegaman <mailto:omegam@cmq.com>|"When they kick out your front door, PGP Key fingerprint = | How are you gonna come? 6D 31 C3 00 77 8C D1 C2 | With your hands upon your head, 59 0A 01 E3 AF 81 94 63 | Or on the trigger of your gun?"

Hi: If you are short of capital or a long way from a bookstore that stocks books on Linux, a free and excellent alternative is a DOS readable text document called 'install-guide-2.2.2.txt' available at sunsite.unc.edu, '/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/docs/install-guide/' or at www.cdrom.com, '/pub/linux/slackware-3.3/docs/install-guide/'. This is a 250+ page book that forms a major component of 'Running Linux' and the first article in 'Linux: The Complete Reference' et al. Just drop it into your favorite word processor, delete those portions dealing with side issues, format for your printer (big left margins - small right margins), print - punch and bind into a folder. For the cost of paper and ink you have an excellent learning handbook with index - It just doesn't get any better than that! Top that, Microsoft! And do have fun. Regards, Brian.
