Networking :: Linuxant



Ok then, I ahem, ran it from the Shell (I tihnk that's the terminal...right? Idiot question here...). And there was still an error.  And I still can't get on the internet (with DSL). I'm goin to try to redownload it.

The error this time was something like:

This 'randomstringofnonsensicalmishmashednumberandorletters' does not match this 'otheronethatwasalittlelongerandmadenosenseatall'.

Any solutions? Any ideas? Anything that I left out?
OK, back at the downloads page, should I retry the KNoppix one?
Should I try a RPM, or DKPG, fedora...freedows...redhat...I've just noticed that The Knoppix (2.78 right??) DSL runs is not the one the driver is made for (OMG, I AM STUPID!), so which should I choose, and which do u think would work? And if none of them are likely, which one(s) are most likely to work?
OK, I've worked everything out except one problem (which will probably lead to more). I run off a live CD, and the RPM needs to write to the ETC folder. How should I deal with this?
1: Was that a md5sum error?

2: You should try using deb/dpkg packages.  DSL is based of Knoppix (3.6) in which itself is based off of Debian.

3: You probably need root/admin privileges - add "sudo" before your normal command in the terminal to execute it as root.

p.s. You can use the Edit button in the forums to prevent double/triple posting.
LoL, I've put quite a few hours into this problem. (God, I hate windows, DSL or bust).

I'm not sure, but I'll see if I can remember how I ran it to get the same error.

I've also trie rpm -i blah, and it tres to write to etc as part of the installation, and then it can't, because it's a CD. And I was so close. I'm considering just installing onto my hard drive, or mayber there is an easier way out.

Actually, if ANY of these have to write to the /etc folder (Which they al probably do, right?) then how do I get that using a LIVE CD, or am I going to have to HD install - Last resort. Partitioning == :( . I'm going to try the dpkg packagees, the rpm, and the tar ones didn't work so well. I suspect they would if I could figure how to write to the cd. I have an idea though:

What if I copy all of the files onto a FLASH device (my mp3 player) install the drivers, burn them back onto the cd??

Anyway, thanks for the help, I've been struggling for hours. Surf web in windows, find an idea, reboot in Linux, try it out.
