I agree but that was the error I got.

No. I haven't changed anything. I'm trying to get an ISP connection setup in
a new RH 6.2 install. It seems that everything I try is broken even when I'm
following HOWTO's or README's. I did a normal install from CD installing
everything except Gnome, KDE and the servers. Sometimes an app that worked
correctly before doesn't work and rebooting fixes it for a while then it
doesn't work on another boot (I have to keep booting RH/Win95 for email). I
can't even install rp3 because rpm says libpanel_applet.so.0 is missing.

Doesn't seem to do anything, I just get a new prompt. After rebooting RH I
tried the command /usr/bin/wvdialconfig create. It seemed to work ok but
when I tried to edit /etc/wvdial.config (which is supposed to be created and
saved by /usr/bin/wvdialconfig create) it didn't exist. After several
unsuccessful attempts I created the file manually using an editor, ran the
command again and it updated the file ok. Using wvdial, it does dial ok but
disconnects almost immediately. If I could get tail to work I may be able to
correct the problem. However, there shouldn't be a problem because I was
very carefull to use exactly the same modem/ISP settings used in Win95
(which I'm using now) and double checked them before saving.
Is everything in Linux and RH always this much of a struggle? Does anything
work correctly the first time?
Thank you.
