Re: [Staffslug] Re: Possible LUG meet speakers?

Kevan, Boats are great fun when the weather is good. I'll look out a photo to mail you in a minute. My mandriva a problem still. Yesterday havingdone a complete reinstall followed by all the usb modem driver stuff it worked all day, I even diconnected and reconnected using the icon on screen- no problem. This morning I booted the PC and no good again. It tells me that the PPPo interface is down and the sync light is off on the modem (not all the time!) I'm using it now with the other PC (XP) so I know the line is OK. When I installed the modem driver patch I saw, as the script flashed past, a line saying something about dependencies or rather the lack of them. I'm lost here and pretty fed up with not understanding this stuff. Maybe I should dump the Mandriva and try something else, perhaps one that others in this group use? Stuart
