Hi everybody, It's my first time to use linux and I have looplinux up and running on my win98 partition. I wanted to download linux version of euphoria but I can't establish a ppp connection. I keep getting this message "pppd: This system lacks kernel support for ppp. ..." I already followed the instruction of INSTALL.TXT on how to get the needed modules infact they're on /lib/modules/2.2.13/net with the ff. files: ppp.o slhc.o I executed depmod -a `uname` -r with no errors, I assumed that everything was fine until I try something like ppp-go -c. I know I missed something will anyone be patient enough to tell me what is? Regards, Arlie

I did this using RedHat 5.1 and didn't have any problems? Brian

El Sat, 25 Mar 2000, escribiste: > lacks kernel support for ppp. ..." >=20 Hi Arlie, have you recently compiled a new kernel? I had a similar problem when I compiled the 2.3.31 kernel.If so try to re-compile the kernel with some options like "set version information on all symbols for modules" in the Loadable Module support section of the kernel configuration script.Read t= he documentation related to CONFIG_MODVERSIONS.Maybe there's a conflict betw= een your new kernel and your old modules. > I already followed the instruction of INSTALL.TXT on how to get the nee= ded > modules infact they're on /lib/modules/2.2.13/net with the ff. files: > ppp.o slhc.o I'm not sure but,if you are not using the automatic kernel module-loader,= you'll need to load these *.o files manually.The order in which you load them CA= RES! Anyway,the best thing to do( due to some big crashes I had!!) ,in my humble opinion is to play with the kernel as less as possible! [Euphoria Related] Hi all, I would like to know if some one has a nice and *simple* tutorial about m= emory addresing,peeks and pokes,how to access to low memory,higher,the structur= e of RAM...etc does someone knows,without going to assembly language(please),how to read= /write the bytes of a sector in a hard drive? regards, Luis
