Is it the sarge dvd? or is it woody.
It is sarge, the one you gave me. I had installed it the very same night.
set it manually to /dev/ttyS0 . note the capital S. Btw which modem.
Its an external modem which connects flawlessly in other distros as well as wvdial in debian. But wvdial backs out when I am just waiting for the final ok from the isp. Yes I always use /dev/ttys0. I will check up with the capital S. It is a part of the drop down list itself. I got debian to allow root to use gui too. And user can now use kppp.
append the following at the end of /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1
then run /etc/init.d/networking restart. ifconfig should show your network.
your network configuration is in /etc/network/interfaces
Thanks, I will do it.
You must have complete details of your hardware. What sound chipset.
Can't recollect the sound chipset, but its an Intel original D845 GEBV2 mb with P4 2.4 Ghz. The sound part may get solved once I try out the ALSA drivers from the net.
Also which boot option did you select while installing.
Mbr load. It detected all my other oses and beautifully gave all entries in the grup loader. This is the only distro so far I have used that does not cancel out others in the grub.
