Ah yes. Slight technical oversight (stuff-up) re: time zone. Fixed.
Sorry to be so dense, but efforts so far to open the configuration file
to view with Edit or a right-click get me a telling-off about not being
able to allocate 536870913 bytes to read the file. How would you go
about comparing the files on either drive?
How about an install with the modem drivers? Each driver is a .tgz
package and corresponding signature .tgz There are source files, and
drivers with binary for Red Hat, Mandrake, and Suse in P3 and P4. IYHO,
what would I try and how?
Thanks,
John.
