Before anyone tells me to buy a book and take a class, I am doing both currently. I want to get ppp or slip, preferably ppp, working so I can dial into my ISP. I know all of the settings. I am not an idiot, just new to UNIX. Secondly, I would like to install some programs, JPG/MPG viewers, FTP server Stuff etc. How exactly do I do this. I have the makefiles for some, but Iget the impression I have to be logged in through UNIX, refer to question #1. Can Anyone help please. Thank you in advance.
