- have you downloaded all updates already through Yast? if yes what kind of errors you got when installing the programs?
- Linux + dialup = pain in the ass
95% of analogue modems are so-called "win-modems"....name says it all..
when I was on dialup I tried 5 or 6 different modems without any success, the only one I've been able to use was a really old 21k one. the only new modems I know which support Linux are Devolo ones (RJ45), also some US Robotics and Creative Labs ones (serial port), all of them are external modems. how is your actual external modem connected?
- hmm....never came across a .run file yet, but file extensions in Linux are not handled like in Windows, actually Linux don't care about file extensions at all. you could rename it to filename.wefuf489rfls and it still would work as before.....so I guess it's just a hint of the developer, like "run this file for setup!".
- I have used SuSe just for a very short time (first distro I ever used), so I don't know about using Yast in a shell, but simply try this:
it should display the manual then with all possible options.
usually those package management tools work similar, in Debian it's
apt-get install nmap for example...in Fedora
yum install nmap....so I guess it's pretty similar for Yast.
