Hi All, I'm wondering about something that seems a bit odd. I've setup a CentOS 4 box for a client that is "still" using dial-up and to activate the connection appears to require root privileges. Why is this? The reason Linux was loaded on this box was to provide a very functional box that could be easily locked down so when the cat was away the mice couldn't play,

Hi I'm trying to connect a USB CDMA modem (z010) to a CentOS 4.1 (kernel 2.6.9-11.EL) and I can't talk to the modem. I tried the same modem under Fedora Core 1 (2.4.22-1.2199.nptl) and it works like a charm. The only difference is /dev/ttyACM0 for CentOS and /dev/input/ttyACM0 for the Fedora. Any help would be appreciated. Tank's. Fernando Lan?a Some debug info: CentOS:

Can I upgrade my Centos 4.1 system with the 4.2 ISO install disc? If so, how do I do it? It seams to want to do a full (i.e. format, wipe out old) install over everything. I do not want to lose my various configurations (e.g. kppp, kde desktop settings, etc) that I have already set up under 4.1. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi everyone, I am in the last stages of converting my business to Linux. All software is now open-source or running under wine. Except one. The software supplied by my bank. This runs fine under wine apart from the dialup to the bank. No matter what settings I use for the modem, I always get the message that the modem cannot be initialised. Here's what I have confirmed so far: The com port

Thanks for the reply! I tried the instructions on Frank's IE5.5 page, including copying all the files and directories to my ~/.wine/fake_windows/ directory (except jsnl.dll, which I could not find...) I do not know if dcom95 exists somewhere in one of the directories that I copied across, but I know that exactly the same thing happens when I try to run IE on the Windows partition (instead of

Hello, Could someone with the requisite shorewall expertise please help me? Here is a description of my problem. I dial in to my ISP using kppp. It seems to establish a connection just fine. However, only a handful of bytes are exchanged. I must then become ''root'' and issue ''shorewall start'' in order to get the Internet connection to work normally. Once

I just tried the Centos 5 Live CD on my Thinkpad T41. It works pretty good but did not recognize my Laptop's modem or WiFi (I guess no surprise there). I do have a CardBus modem that is not a Win-modem that I could try when I get home. I did not see anyway to configure a PPP dialup call. Is there a way to run kppp or Gnome's equivalent? -------------- next part -------------- An

I have a nice new 965 chipset mobo with core 2 duo cpu. I was wondering if anyone has any experiences with this chipset and CPU with 4.4 ? Does the jmicron sata/pata interface work ? Are both cores recongnized with the right kernel ? Does EIST work ? Or should I wait for Centos 5 ? Cheers, Brian.

For some reason, CentOS 4.1 waits approximately 3-5 min at the "Determining host name and domain" during kickstart. RedHat 7.1, RedHat 9.0, RedHat Enterprise 3.0, and even CentOS 4.0 do not have this problem using the same kickstart server (my kickstart server is configured to kick all of them). Does anyone know why CentOS 4.1 is particularly slow at this stage of kickstart? Thanks
