All I can say is ...wow! You're more persistent then me! So, how did you do the cable modem internet hookup? Is it pretty easy?

Hummm... 3 years? Wow. Long time. Normally, I try to get stuff fixed in less than a week...

and to get your cabe internet connexion working:

1. Load the correct module for your network card
2. Plug the modem into the network card
3. pump -i eth0
4. There you go.

Well, This attempt at installing linux went well, but the internet didn't work. I had just installed a router for my windows network, so I didn't need one of my cards. I took it out and it turns out there was magnetic interference in the cards, and linux kept mixing them up. I took out the card, and here I am.. :)
Now I need to find out how to install rpms.
Well, I already got the connection working

One wierd thing is, is that when I type sndconf, or ifconfig in the regular xterm in enlightenment, bash can't get the command, but when I go on the kde konsole (wich I am not a fan of) most things work, except, when I have an application (audiogalaxy) that I just ungzipped. I can't open the file in xterm or the konsole or any of those. I can't even open it in the gnome or kde file managers. DO I need to make an install file? How do I do this?

The problem is not these programs arn't in your path. The way to execute progs not in your path is to cd to the correct directory and type ./progname When you compile something, 'make install' puts the prog in your path so you dont need to bother with directories and stuff.
