Hi,

 

My nick is K0rnz and I've only been using Linux for about 8 days now. I decided to switch over from Windows XP Pro as a new year's resolution. I do have another computer in my home that has Windows XP Pro but it belongs to my wife and I try to avoid it like the plague.

 

I initially started off with an old Redhat 8.0 CDs which I had downloaded and burned many moons ago but never got to install them. Then I installed Redhat 9.0 and was told in the #redhat EFNET IRC channel to get Fedora Core 1 which I am now running with no problems.

 

Only problems I've run into is the up2date feature fails to connect sometimes.

 

Thanks,

K0rnz

what ya think?? :P it only wallpaper

 

i installed the fluxbox from the source.

 

when i uninstall it by using make distclean. then programming running. it supposed to delete all the files from like /usr/share/blah/fluxbox. but it didn't it left it there. and when i try to install the newer version, it supposed overwrite or install it as fresh, when i attempt to login the fluxbox, the version is till on the old one from source :(

 

how do i get rid of that idiot source??

Whenever i enable my Netgear MA401 wireless ethernet card it fails:

 

[root@localhost tokatrash]# /sbin/ifup eth1

Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :

SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument.

Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :

SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.

Cannot get driver information: Operation not supported

[root@localhost tokatrash]#

 

Can you give me a hint on what to do for it to work properly?

hope you have a good one !

 

cheers
