but how do you connect to the internet? i am running mandrake 9.1 using a serial modem ( that i know works because i am using it right now to post on this board ). the only way i can get it to connect is to go to the mandrake control center and connect from there. is this the only way to connect or is there an easier way? i have been in the menu editor and added the "what to do" bar which has a connect to the internet button. when i click on the button nothing happens.
yes kenneth i did try to just open a browser and surf. the problem was i could not get my modem to connect unless i went to MCC and tested the connection there.
it seems the mandrake 9.1 doesnt come with KPPP. i downloaded the rpm and everything is just groovy.
