It is a 1GHz PIII. The only thing bad about it is the crappy video card. :( (Old nVidia GeForce4 MX 4000 PCI)

Thanks.

I actually resintalled with KDE, but i can't get that to work (my video card is crap...)

I am giving up on this machine (it is really out-of-date). I will get another machine built...

I installed OpenSUSE 10.2 on an old sysem. Just for kicks and giggles, i decided to install with the "minimum graphics system". I like it to a poing, except for the fact that I CAN'T TERMINATE IT! I...

Sorry, i meant that installing should be unified...

Linux needs to be unified... Someone needs to set the standard, and stick with it. That is why MS windows is so great. They have unity.

I don't remember what version it is. I know that it was the newest version available, though. It was downloaded on 1/14/07, so which ever version was most up-to-date then is the one i have.

I...

That is awesome! :D thanks!

Ok. When i type in iwlist eth1 scan, it says that the linksys router's address is 00:14:BF:C7:C4:D8

But when i do iwconfig (after connecting to the router, it still says that the Access point is...

To do what?

When we got our internet installed, the jerk that setup the encore router didn't leave any utilitys... so i can't reconfigure the encore router unless i get the utilitys for it...

I don't...

Correct.



I don't know how to view the log... how would i do that? Even if it doesn't get me anywhere, it would be interesting to view! :)



No, one is on 6 and the other is on 11......

no, the marks router is a crappy "encore" one...

I am using the linksys router right now to send this messge from my deskop (running windoz xp) via wireless...

I just changed some settings,...

I am only 20 feet from my router... If i can find my router CD i will play with the settings. I dont think i have encryption set...

Yup :)

I am running Mepis now...

Umm, and what should that look like? :)



I have two wireless routers; "linksys" and "marks"

When i try to connect to linksys, the "Access Point" is "invalad", but when i connect to...

Great...

Now mepis locks on boot. :(

here is where it locks:


* Loading hardware drivers... [ ok ]
[17179583.340000] **** SET: Misaligned resource pointer: ddd1c202 Type...

Ok, it installed. Now i get an


Error, eth1: timed out



Now what the heck am i doing wrong?

well now! That possibly solved another problem! :) Once again, i apologise for my lack of knowing linux, and networking. :p otherwise, i don't mean to brag, but i am pretty good with computers...
...

under /sbin there are only commands called "dhclient, dhclient3 dhclient-script"

There is something called "DHCPD" under
/usr/sbin... When i try to do "DHCPD eth1", i get a bunch of text that...

Well now... DHCP still doesn't work. I ran the ./configure, make, and make install, but "DHCPCD" still isn't a valad command...

(in a really whiney voice) I really just want to get on the net......

He he, i was trying to run it from my jump drive.... :D

oops... Well, that solves one problem... :)

Ok. Something is SERIOUSLY wrong.

I download DHCP, and extracted it, but when i try to run the freaking


./configure


It comes up with the same fking error as it did with the wireless...

Aaah!!!!!!!!

It pains me to say this, but DHCP isn't installed.... (screaming uncontrollably)

I was able to connect up, but i still can't get on the net!

I have two choices here;
1)...

I don't think i was too clear...

SCons DID install fine... that was where the


Checking for SCons : not found, will use mini distribution.

came from

Umm. ok.... I got Mepis installed on my laptop...


SCons installed fine, (oh, why did i install that anyways? What does it do?)


But that wlassistant STILL doesn't want to install!

It...

Yeah, i figured that out after some experimenting.

I ran the setup instructions included in the readme, and it said to run



# python setup.py install

So i should try everything i tried before? Great... :)


Wait... I can't... tar.gz isn't a tar.bz2, so i can not do what i tried before... So, back to my sub-original question; how do i install...

Sorry i am so dumb with linux... now how do you install SCons? :D

Checking for Python : /usr/bin/python
Checking for SCons : not found, will use mini distribution.
./configure: ./scons: /usr/bin/env: bad interpreter: Permission denied



Thank...

Yes, there is a file named "configure"...


Edit:

When i type in

./configure

i get the following error

I just got a mepis live cd... I am running it live on my laptop.

I was able to get sound installed, but i am having trouble installing a program. The program is called "Wireless Assistant"...

I am sick of windoz, and want to move to Linux. The problem is that i can not find any distributions that i like, because LINUX IS TOO COMPLICATED!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

I absolutely DESPISE Gnome. I...
