Re: Can't startx

Hello Sven

I would like to try the 2.6 kernel but because of my PPP problems have been
unable to download it, so I may have to sort this problem out. My problem
is when I try to connect the computer just freezes (before dialing). I have
had no problems with using my modem on the AmigaOS side (through Genesis
which came with OS3.9) and through Mac emulation (using FreePPP) in both
these cases I use the generic modem setup. I also read that you can use
files that you have downloaded to Amiga partitions, but I have only found
information for doing this on FFS partitions and I use PFS. Although I do
think it would be better to just get my PPP setup going in LInux rather
than going around it this way. Any ideas?

Cheers

Hamish
