Hi Newbiee going to meeting > Thanks for your reply. I look fwd for advice on ISP,s. Telnet and SSH are on the computer, but are they installed? The computer
To test if the installation is complete, try using $ telnet localhost To connect to your box without a monitor, telnet and SSH would need to be running as a daemon (server). As you're bringing your monitor, we can sort this out at the meeting.
does not have a modem installed, But I can bring a couple along. (I have a BT Voyager also, but understand they are not supported).
We can have a go with the modem - internal PCI modems are sometimes supported in Linux and there are established methods of finding the correct driver.
There is a network card, but I have not tried using it for Linux yet.
Most network cards are recognised automatically. Try this as root: # ifconfig If you get any output detailing eth0, the card is OK. localhost (lo) should always be configured by the system.
What I want to get installed is Java 2 SDK, as a group I belong to use Java for a model Railway interface. I had it working in windows, but decided to go
Simon, do you have the SDK on CD? Mark, how long would it take to download over your connection?
down the linux route to force me to learn linux. I have failed to install it however. However having discovered GCC and curses.h I am playing with C on the linux machine.
:-) http://www.dclug.org.uk/linux_doc/library.php?filter=2&terms=program#book6 Covers exactly the ground you describe, first steps in C, using gcc and output via ncurses. One example worked from the book is on codehelp: http://www.codehelp.co.uk/html/code7.html
I will chuck my computer, kb and monitor, and a length of cable in my car, and bring it up if it seems appropriate at the time. (That box is pure linux).
Definitely. We'll have various ethernet cables, hubs and a router to make the other connections. There probably won't be a phone line to finish testing any modem config. but I'll take a look.
