Hello Lists, (see header) I am using Kubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) on my second hdd and three applications, Konqueror, Konverstaion and Kopete (yes, KDE - Kyonki haha) on my MTNL Triband line, without specifying the DNS. The automatically accepted DNS was the IP address of the ADSL Router / Modem. (D-Link 502 T)
I wasn't able to get updates using apt-get because, the command would fetch the first URL and become stagnant with no network activity over the ethernet LED. I finally, decided to add the DNS servers provided by MTNL, and wow! apt-get could finally understand what it is supposed to connect to and fetched updates. Phew! Why didn't the K affect the 'K'onsole. Some other underlying protocol, perhaps? BTW, I managed to install Firefox (1.5.0.11) and have bookmarked two links on installing Firefox 2.0 on *buntu. These updates consumes a lot of my bits, and that brings me to a question! Can I (if I get one) use the Kubuntu 6.06 DVD as a source for installing common applications (such as say GCC 3.x or 4.x, Java 1.4.x JRE 1.5.x etc?) If yes, anyone in Mumbai with a Kubuntu 6.06 DVD? -- FSF of India Associate Fellow - http://www.gnu.org.in S K Somaiya College of ASC- http://www.somaiya.edu/sksasc __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
