> I have a circa 1998 Tiny PC, very low powered though I have replaced the > 1 gig harddrive with a 50GB one and upped the memory a bit.

However the PC has no ethernet card and no card slots, I am using > a sitecom USB ethernet adapter and unfortunately DSL does not recognize > this device. Unless that's USB 2.0, you will be lucky to get 11Mbps out of it. That will increase the latency of your Internet regardless of the connection speed. > Does anyone know how I could get DSL to run this device? Get the relevant kernel module for it. Find a pre-compiled one for your kernel or compile your own. Actually, on that subject, does anyone know how to compile a kernel module (and maybe it's dependencies too) without having to change the kernel config and compile the whole lot? -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
