Greetings all,
I have (after many misadventures I may post another time) manged to get RH 9.0 installed as a second OS on my Win98 machine.
Once I got it running it was looking good - except my network card (a cheap but 3 month old Realtek PCI card) wouldn't intitialise.
No biggy I thought since the system fails it and boots anyway.
Then I tried to setup my modem (Netcomm Roadster II USB - 5 years old) and things went bad on me.
Now the boot stops ats 'initialising ppp0" and doesn't proceed.
I've tried a rescue mode boot in order to remove the ppp0 from the boot sequence but I couldn't work out what/where to comment out...
I did mess around with Linux about 6 years ago as part of a course and understand enough to be dangerous (like how to use vi) but not enough to fix this problem.
All I really want to do for the moment is disable the eth0 & ppp0 initialsations so I can come back to them later once I work out what to do. I've read so much stuff in the last week I think my head is going to burst but I havent found the answers I need...
Can anyone tell me what I have to edit?
Thanks in advance :)
