Andrew,
Yes, multiple disasters. Having fiddled around in console with 'startadsl' I
then had to put all same info again into control centre network conns. It
then worked OK but a bit slow. I downloaded som updates from Mandriva,
compiler updates I think. I also downloaded AVG free and installed it-
though now I can't find AVG to turn it on! Next I disconnected and now it
won't reconnect. If I run startadsl I got message about dma then message
ioctrl. I just tried it again and it tells me eagle-usb driver not loaded! I
might sling it all in the bin and buy two tin cans and a piece of string.

Ha, ha....I think it's highly likely that we all have all been at that
stage at some point, Stuart. It does get better and very rewarding
with it. What you have to remember is that Linux is not Microsoft
Windows. You need to forget what you learned in Windows (Windwoes as
I sometimes comically term it) and learn computing the correct way.
That isn't a joke.
Once you mastered Linux you can give the BSD distros a try or Belenix
(open Solaris from Sun Microsystems).
