i have 2 computers, one i have just rebuilt. not liking what rh has done in 8, i compile kde from source. i did things in the following order: qt, arts, libs, base, network, then the rest in no particular order. to get rid of redhat's x scripts, i installed xfree 4.3.0 from www.xfree.org. until i installed the rest of kde, my dialup worked fine. now that i have compilled the rest of kde, my dialup connects, but i cant go anywhere or download mail. was wondering what was happening here? any help would be appreciated. tcyhe btw: the second comp, (base rh8 install) has the same settings as my rebuilt box, which works just fine. ___________________________________________________ .
