haha, maybe if you were running, say debian, or slackware.

 

OK. ******* hell.



I got into root, FINALLY.. .but it tells me I'm not connected to the internet? The ****, I see my DSL lights moving... lol





Scott - when I go and type /etc/rc.d/init.d/network start - it says not found.....





so um?

 

Bah! Your bloody mad! Windows is better anyway....

 

riiiiiiiiiiight

 

where are your init scripts located? Sounds like the NIC isn't started, you could jsut start the device, although if you are using GUI there should be a configuration tool.

 

off hand, I do not know. Did you read racer_13's PM?



edit:



I'd have to shut down this machine again, and put the cd back in to tell you. PITA.

 

not to be rude here.



but there's two keys to setting up any OS other then windows on a PC:



1) If you ever consider simply rebooting to be a "PITA" just stick to windows.

2) If you're lazy, stick to windows.

Didn't mean it like that - but because it is running off a cd - versus the one that is perm. installed on your computer is a PITA.. otherwise I love linux





So there!
