Well, I am back folks. Not that anybody really cares. Im sure you all werent sitting around missing me

Hopefully it is alright that I make a new thread since I cant go to my old thread. Anyway, I am back. That is true. I started a class this quarter called Intro To Linux/Unix so I figured it was time for me to install Linux on my machine (again...) and get back to these forums. Since I will need to use this knowledge and all or else I fail. So, here I am.

I installed Mandrake 9.2 earlier but my problem is that I cannot get it to recognize the onboard ethernet with my Abit mobo. At one time I had internet working in Mandrake, but that was after installing another NIC, which I then used the onboard in Windows and the 2nd NIC in Linux. Now, im trying to use the same for both. Mandrake 9.2 is not listed but 9.1 is, so I will try thsoe. I installed the drivers that should work for them all, but...they didnt work for me.

So anyway, that is where I stand now.

How is everybody doing, BTW?

Well I got the Mandrake 9.1 and up drivers and those didnt work. So I grabbed the NIC out of my 2nd computer (not running) and stuck it in there. Still nothing after configuring that. I have yet to go find the drivers for that, but I will work on that tomorrow. Hopefully it works. Or else, I will have to go back to Red Hat 9, which I dont like.

Anybody know the advantages of going to RH 7.3? I find 9 to be a little bloated. Would 7.3 be the opposite?

Well if the Mariners can hold this lead, then the day is great. No matter what else happens

[Hotwheelz]

Back again, and posting from Mandrake 10. I am now far enough in the class that I have learned to compile programs and really have fun with Linux. I at least know my way around, for the most part.

Im in the process of getting some basic things installed. Looking at Blackbox right now.

How is everybody doing?
