Thanks for the more helpful info. How to update FC4 when the
laptop can't connect to internet? I installed Fedora4 via a DVD
in a book. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<br><br>Several things... To use sudo, as root give the command visudo. This<br>will give you a vi session that will allow you to edit the sudoers<br>file. Add your own, regular user account. For now, you probably want
<br>to add something like:<br><br>dave ALL=(ALL) ALL<br><br>only replace "dave" with your account. Once you do, you can do things<br>like "sudo service iptables restart" from your regular user account.
<br>You will be prompted for a password which is *your* account password;<br>not the root password. The whole idea of sudo is to allow a regular<br>user access to things normally only root can do but without having to<br>
give them full root access. You can refine the above to only allow<br>access to certain commands at some point in the future.<br><br>You will need to update to a more recent kernel to get access to the<br>PCMCIA slot. I ran into the identical problem with some of the early
<br>FC4 kernels, started playing with the 2.6.13 kernel from <a href="http://kernel.org">kernel.org</a>, got<br>too busy to figure out what the problem was and now my PCMCIA slot<br>recognizes a card with the current FC4 kernel. Based on a discussion I
<br>found on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML), your PC card slot will<br>not work until you get to a more recent kernel.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Dave<br><br>--<br>fedora-list mailing list<br><a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">
