Getting my system put together

[WayneArnold]

I am trying to finish building my first Linux (RedHat 7.0) system. Everything has gone pretty well so far, and I have been able to dig out the answers for my questions, but I'm kinda lost right now. I sure could use some help.

I am trying to set my machine up so that it will go out my NIC, over to my hub and find my DSL modem. According to the phone company, I can do this and use both machines to access the web at the same time.

I have been able to download a copy of Enternet for Linux from Efficient Networks, but there are a few things in the instructions that I don't know how to do.

They tell me that if I don't have the PPP Daemon installed I should install it now. So how do I find out if I have it installed? If it isn't installed, how do I intall it from the RedHat CD's?

Thanks,

Wayne

The ppp daemon probably comes in a package called ppp. Get information on packages with rpm -qpi filename.rpm or rpm -qpl filename.rpm.

The former command gets a description of the package. The latter lists files in the package.

Once you find the package you want, use rpm -i to install it.
