I know that almost hurts to hear it.. but i am converting an older lappy to Duel Win/Ubuntu.. its to be used as a support if i work on other systems. I am NOT an IT or anything.. but after running into Linux a couple years back.. i have been playin with it.. and discovered i like nothing LESS than if i am working on some one's system and need to show the output and Cant because i am not connected or i am in the middle of some such problem. So the Lappy becomes the support lap.
I have changed the TTY things to each and every one listed.. and i have done detect on each.. so on.. but it just wont do it. if you search the INSTALL IBIX thread.. you will find i have 8 pages of stuff on getting this lap top up.. its now working.. mostly.. thanks PYTHIAS.. but the last couple pages have stuff on OUTPUT in the PPPOE. what i think might have happend is the folder MODEM is not hard ware.. i think it's looking in it and finding nothing.. but it bugs me that it doesnt look for hardware and find it.
Please leave me a personal message if you have ideas on how to fix this.
