I have Redhat 6.1 installed with a duel boot with Windows 98 (via LILO).
My Linux system doesn't seem to want to recognize my regular modem (I have
both
a WinModem and a normal modem) and I've been told that this is a bug in=
Redhat
6.1. Since I can't get Internet access with my Linux system, I downloaded=
the
appropriate RPM files for Redhat 6.1 via windows. I then tried to install=
the
RPM packages through both the Redhat manager and the Gnome installer. For
both
instances I got long list of error messages, so...
Is this a problem due to going through files that were downloaded through
Windows? If not, then should I force the installation? (I am cautious about
this. I don't want to reinstall since there are a number of configurations
that I am not familiar with. When I first installed I was stuck in 600x800=
X
Windows resolution AND I didn't have any sound, though both are fixed now
thanks to a UCLALUG member who helped me out at the last installation).
If I have to install forceably at a command prompt, then which directory
should
I be in to do this (forgive me if I don't know, I am not familiar with=
working
at a command prompt in Linux and haven't done it for Dos in over ten years)?
I really would like to try out my Linux system in this regard, so any help
would be helpful.
BTW, I've started learning C++ and compiling with the Windows ported
version of
gcc and am overall pleased with it. But is there any Linux based program=
for
helping to write programs that have visual components for a program to run
in a
X Windows session? If not, then where can I learn the particulars so as to
write said programs?
thanx in advance
