| 470796 | 2006-07-14 10:13:00 | Hi, I have installed and tried alot of Linux OS and have found Ark Linux very good. One problem I have is when I go to connect to the internet I get a message "/etc/resolv.conf is missing or can't be read. Ask your Administrator to create it." How can I fix this? Also I have to connect at a lower speed than 115200 otherwise the connection hangs at "Expecting ogin:" Why is it "ogin" and not "login"? I find ArkLinux runs the quickest on my 533 Celeron and has hundreds of free software on CD to install as needed. Thanks |

Find them out and enter them in the correct format. See man resolv.conf. The "ogin" is part of the connecting string in the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file. It is an abbreviation of your login name. Check to see if this is correct. See man ppp.conf. |

Thanks very much, I guess man resolv.conf. and man ppp.conf. are configurations files I will have to find. I will have a look for them and see. Cheers, |

| 470799 | 2006-07-15 03:06:00 | It's "ogin" because some Unix systems used "Login: ", and others used "login: " for the normal interactive login prompt. So the simplest approach for an automated login is to look for "ogin". | Graham L (2) | ||
| 470800 | 2006-07-15 03:40:00 | P.S. "man <something>" is the command to display the manual page for "something". Manual pages aren't always easy to understand. Here's a more readable page on resolv.conf at the tldp (www.tldp.org/LDP/nag/node84.html) site. It's part of a tutorial, and the navigation buttons will work. ;) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 470801 | 2006-07-15 12:05:00 | Thanks for that, I will have a look tomorrow and let you know how I got on. Cheers, |
