questions about Linux

matthewmurley · 02-03-2005, 08:29 AM

I can't find a way to connect to the internet on Linux. I have Fedora Core 2 and I've looked everywhere with no luck. Also, when I try to add a printer, I succeed until the step where I have to select my printer. My printer (the Canon Multi PASS MP370) isn't one of the selections. Any ideas?

Go to a terminal window and type "ifconfig" without the quotes. Do you see any reference to a device "eth0"?

Just to enlighten people: No "ifconfig" is not a typo. It is a linux terminal command. He isn't talking about Windows

I have no clue, when I installed Fedora Core about 2 months back, it readily connected to the internet. I didn't have to configure a thing. I installed it on my second hard drive though, not as the only OS.
