Dear List,
* Forgive dumb request: On doing a F12
install, I thought that I had checked 'dial-up'
for internet. I do not however seem to find any
software into which I might insert a phone#
for this. So the thought to use* Yum or RPM to
add from the installation DVD (and xmgrace
if it is available). One problem is, I don't know
the actual name of the dial-up software.
Then how to use YUM to add an unknown? Any chance
that it is already loaded and lurking,
but I just don't where to look (on the installed
system)?
* Thanks for any suggestions on this-*
Marshall Blann

here is a link that may be what you want.*http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-configure-modem-to-connect-to-the-internet-using-a-ppp-dialup-account.html
the program is called wvdial. I am assuming you need do use PPP via a dial up
modem connection.

Most networking stuff is handled by NetworkManager. Go to
System->Preferences->Network Connections and fill in the blanks.

"Dennis Calhoun"
add a package F12
Rick,
How is he supposed to do that when the operating system is not yet
installed?
Blann,
Welcome to the completely illogical world of Linux. None of the naming
conventions have any USER PERTINENT common sense logic at all.
Dennis ---> left Linsux long ago and doesn't care if he gets removed
herefrom.

"blann"
add a package F12
Dennis, my poor communication:I installed the F12 OS without a hitch. On
using it, I could not find
what turns out is still the WVDIAL software on my other computer running
FC6. I went thru a suggested
system-preferences- add or delete software (if I recall sequence correctly)
on my F12 system, and got a box.
I entered wvdial in the 'find' line, and it brought up a description of
wvdial software. Since there was no evidence
of it on my desktop, nor could I bring it up when using email software and
vlicking on 'send', I clicked on the
install/remove option. I think it removed it, because thereafter if I typed
'wvdial' into the find box, it reported
nothing found. I'll pursue further a web-link provided by Ted P. which gives
instructions on wvdial install.
As usual, the group has been very helpful, andI appreciate it. Sorry that I
was unclear on install of OS.
