How to configure Dial Up internet in SuSE 9.1?

[//siddhartha//]

Hi! I have a few questions regarding SuSE:
How can I configure to run Dial Up internet on SuSE 9.1 ?
How can I install programs from DIGIT DVD onto SuSE 9.1 ?

 

[vignesh]

usually the digit dvd gives the files in rpm so just doublle click it wll install in suse. If it is a archive the extract it and do the following

./configure
make
make install

what modem do you have intrnal or external ?

Well, I have an internal modem.. So, how do I configure it ?
I have used Konqueror.. In it when I click on .rpm files, it gives a button.. somthing like Install package using YAST when I click on it , YAST2 opens up but I don't know what to do then..

Are any ANTIVIRUS programs available for LINUX .. BTW, have LINUX viruses come up?
Plz help me install MPlayer from the DIGIT DVD..
Also, how do I run DVD movie files saved on the hard disk in LINUX? Which softwares are available.. Kaffeine does not play them..
Finally, where is the latest version of RealPlayer and Adobe Acrobat available on the net and also how can I install them ?
Last but not the least, how do I install KDE from the DIGIT DVD ?

Linux virus are rare but to be on the safe side use clamav an antivirus for linux. To install mplayer i think susi has a package manager use it as all dependency problems are looked into this way
Acrobat reader 7 is available for linux.
For dvd playback use xine.
for installing kde check out the forum there is a thread on this subject.

But what about configuring DIAL UP internet connection? and installing programs with extensions on SuSE 9.1:
i) .rpm
ii) .tgz
iii) .deb

 

[pradeep_chauhan]

.deb is for debian so i dont think they work on susi
.rpm if new package rpm -ivh xxxxxxxxxx.rpm if upgrading rpm -Uvh xxxxxxxx.rpmand .tgz are source files use method given by vignesh after unzipping using gunzip and untar tar -xvf xxxxxxxx.tar

In suse you can install files very easily just right click and select install with yast.I don`t know abut deb files.Use yast to configure your modem and create a connection. IN suse everything can be done using yast

Hmm u said u have an internal modem rite. Then there is a 90% chance tht ur modem won't work in Linux.When u start trying to configure ur modem u will start hearing words like 'WinModem','Software simulated Modem', 'Cheaper Internal Modem' etc. These stuffs won't work in Linux. This problem caused me to drop Linux.

 

[//siddhartha//]

But this is no solution.. I went in YAST and there configured to install software for my internal modem (which it recognized) and asked for the SUSE CD. So, after installing, when I clicked Dial Up in the K Menu (i.e Start Button of LINUX, I don't know its name), it showed some error and I did not find any place for entering details like Server name, Phone no., Username, Password, etc..
Plz help.........

 

[sujithtom]

Well u seem to have some other problem. Well i have not tried to configure modem in Suse yet so i am sorry.

1)
There r very few virus in Linux and there r very few Antivirus also. According to Linux For You, popular brands like Norton have Linux Version also.

2) No Idea sry

3) I could use Open with in Fedora Linux

4) download.com, real players website and adobes website. Refer their help on how to install

5) I think it came bundled with a few text files on how to install them. Anyway the whole process is command line
