Hey there.. I had a strange and ironic thing happen to me today. I went back through the techtalks digests that I had saved in search of the 'how to' for connecting linux up to the internet... I printed it off and as I was booting up redhat, during the boot up process, with no prompting from me,

Okay, so I checked out ps -aux, like someone told me to do on irc #linuxhelp, but I don't know enough about what I'm looking at to decide what to 'kill' to stop the modem. This is frustrating. *sigh* ~ wirren ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECT

Hi all, Earlier in the day I was griping about MySQL that it was a pain to install, but I *finally* have it up and running. It needed a clean install, especially from the right file (haha). Once I got that figured out, it was smooth sailing after that. Thanks for Julie for rescuing from a three
