| Alright. I'm Useless (clearly) when it comes to Linux. The three
| things mentioned in the subject line I can not even get to work.
| Please, help!
|
| I have tried to download the print-driver. I tried to install it. All
| was going well: Then, it said to enter: /etc/init.d/hplip (or, in my
| case, hpijs 1.7.1) restart. At this point, it says that that folder
| doesn't exist: It doesn't.
|
| Next, sound. It simply will not work.
|
| Internet is last (and most complex). I have good reason to suspect
| that some thing is using it. I have an Ethernet card and use High
| Speed Internet (DSL, yes?). I also have need of ppp or what ever verb
| I use there. At the startup scripts (by the bye: How do I access those
| (I. E.: what I actually saw) when in normal usage?) I think I saw some
| thing like IRQ 0 may not work. Some thing like that. Then, it keeps
| saying (when I run the ASDL / PPP Config (and what not) that
| sciosfflags (or, what ever it is) says network is down or busy.
|
| If any of this is too vague, I'll get you precisely what you need.
|
| Thank you kindly and consider me a dunce with Linux: Treat me like a
| child and explain every thing fully. Thank you again.
Dear David,
To start with it might help if you tell us which Debian you're using
(Sarge? Sid? Woody?). What you've got installed already (KDE? Gnome?, etc)
Second, why not try the countless "howto's" assuming you can connect to
the internet on another machine.
For sound: google debian howto alsa
For printing google debian howto cups
For PPP kppp is pretty easy to use (if you have KDE installed). Your isp
website should provide configuration instructions.
For DSL try pppoeconf (or the KDE frontend)
Cheers,
Jonathan
