Uh, do you have two ethernet cards in it?  If so, and this was an
upgraded system, the old system used the pcnet_cs driver for eth1
where the newer (and better) driver is 8139too.  Edit your
/etc/modules.conf file and change the line.

It'd be best if you posted the contents of /etc/modules.conf and the
results of these two commands:

	lsmod
	lspci

We can advise you better then.
************
I hav 2 cards one 3 com and another dlink on eth1.....what u want me to
change on modules.conf
Its reading like this right now
 Alias eth0 3c59x
 Alias usb-controller usb-uhci
 Alias eth1 pcnet_cs

What kind of sound card do you have?  That indicates that there is no
sound driver loaded for your hardware.
********************************************
I checked on the internet and since I hav an IBM THINKPAD 600E MY SOUND
CARD IS SUPPOSEDLY CS461x sound card
Where do I get driver ?

wish is a Tcl/Tk script.  It's installed as part of the "tk" RPM.  Make
sure that's installed.  Check by "rpm -qa | grep tk".
******************************************
ok I understand wish is tk script,but y won't "./amsn "work??its such a
normal command.......i was getting "/usr/bin/env: wish: No such file or
directory" for ./amsn

You downloaded the RPMs to a directory and you weren't in the directory
where they're located when you ran the RPM command.  You first need
to either "cd /root/Desktop" or "rpm -Uvh /root/desktop/file1.rpm"
(give it the full path to the file).

Here's a standard trick I use.  As the root user, I always create a
scratch directory, /usr/xxx, and make its permissions 777:

	# mkdir /usr/xxx
	# chmod 777 /usr/xxx

Anything I download I put in /usr/xxx.  Using the desktop is not always
a good thing, as Then:

	# cd /usr/xxx
	# rpm -ivh file1.rpm file2.rpm

Of course, the "-ivh" is an install.  "-Uvh" is an update, "-Fvh" is
an update, but only if there are older packages installed.  Once I'm
done, I delete the files in /usr/xxx (or keep them around in case I
need them again).
