I have a ADM8511 Pegasus II USB Ethernet Converter. I have Fedora Core5 running on my System.

 

The problem is I can see my device listed under Hardware, but get the following error when I try & add it as a new device under the devices menu.

 

pegasus device eth2 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

 

The following is the Output of lsusb command :

The lsusb detects the device as shown above, but the device is not detected under the /dev directory.

 

 

I'm lost. How can I fix this ??? The device works perfectly under Windows XP

I installed magic partition program on my XP drive and then the linux drive finally showed up but I couldnt access any folders inside. So now I'm trying the reverse going through my FC5 drive to access my XP drive and transfer the files over. However, I'm stuck I don't know where to go or what commands to use to access my XP drive, I don't even think it's being detected by the OS (in BIOS however it IS being read). I don't know if I have to mount it or not or anything like that, so I didn't try Dan's newbie tutorial guide on mounting NTFS drives. I don't want to do something that permanently screws me over, so I'm asking here first. I typed fdisk -l in my su directory and it showed up as this:

Quote:Fedora Core Live Spins Released! 

* From: "Robert 'Bob' Jensen" <bob bobjensen com>

* To: Announce Fedora <fedora-announce-list redhat com>

* Subject: Fedora Core Live Spins Released!

* Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 17:19:22 -0500

 

Fedora Unity releases Fedora Core 5 Live-Spin ISO images.

 

 

Official Fedora Live images are something we all have been looking forward to seeing in the Fedora Community. Kadischi will be the tool to create such live images. Fedora Unity has recently joined forces with Kadischi to help provide testing and to release live images which we are calling "Live-Spins."

 

The Fedora Unity Project is proud to announce the release of a new Live-Spin CD and DVD ISO image of Fedora Core 5. These Live-Spin ISOs are based on Fedora Core 5 and all updates released as of August 21st, 2006. They are available for the i386 architecture via BitTorrent starting Monday, August 28th, 2006 via BitTorrent.

 

The Fedora Core 5 CD image features a 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 kernel and GNOME 2.14.1, along with applications such as xchat, gftp, OpenOffice.org 2.0.3, and other utilities. The DVD image includes roughly "everything but the kitchen sink."

 

Also available at this time are "pristine" FC6T2 Live ISO images from the initial FC6T2 release.

 

The Fedora Unity Project was created by concerned peers in the Fedora Community to bring quality solutions to the Community. Project members want to see the best solutions find their way into the hands of the Community. Members include site maintainers, Fedora Project contributors and interested users.

 

Fedora Unity has taken up the Live-Spin task to provide the Community with the chance to test Fedora Core with recent updates in a Live Media environment. This is a Community project, for the Community and by the Community. You can contribute to the Community by seeding the torrent after your download has completed or by joining the test process.

 

The Fedora Unity Project intends to release early and release often. New Live-Spins are provided early each month during the life of each Fedora Core release until that release is transferred to Fedora Legacy. Early snapshots are taken mid-month to start testing. Final snapshots will be taken about a week before the release. All released ISO images are tested to ensure the quality that the Fedora community expects.

Quote:Fedora Core Live Spins Released! 

* From: "Robert 'Bob' Jensen" <bob bobjensen com>

* Subject: Fedora Core Live Spins Released!

* Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2006 17:19:22 -0500

 

Fedora Unity releases Fedora Core 5 Live-Spin ISO images.

 

 

Official Fedora Live images are something we all have been looking forward to seeing in the Fedora Community. Kadischi will be the tool to create such live images. Fedora Unity has recently joined forces with Kadischi to help provide testing and to release live images which we are calling "Live-Spins."

 

The Fedora Unity Project is proud to announce the release of a new Live-Spin CD and DVD ISO image of Fedora Core 5. These Live-Spin ISOs are based on Fedora Core 5 and all updates released as of August 21st, 2006. They are available for the i386 architecture via BitTorrent starting Monday, August 28th, 2006 via BitTorrent.

 

The Fedora Core 5 CD image features a 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 kernel and GNOME 2.14.1, along with applications such as xchat, gftp, OpenOffice.org 2.0.3, and other utilities. The DVD image includes roughly "everything but the kitchen sink."

 

Also available at this time are "pristine" FC6T2 Live ISO images from the initial FC6T2 release.

 

The Fedora Unity Project was created by concerned peers in the Fedora Community to bring quality solutions to the Community. Project members want to see the best solutions find their way into the hands of the Community. Members include site maintainers, Fedora Project contributors and interested users.

 

Fedora Unity has taken up the Live-Spin task to provide the Community with the chance to test Fedora Core with recent updates in a Live Media environment. This is a Community project, for the Community and by the Community. You can contribute to the Community by seeding the torrent after your download has completed or by joining the test process.

 

The Fedora Unity Project intends to release early and release often. New Live-Spins are provided early each month during the life of each Fedora Core release until that release is transferred to Fedora Legacy. Early snapshots are taken mid-month to start testing. Final snapshots will be taken about a week before the release. All released ISO images are tested to ensure the quality that the Fedora community expects. If you are interested in helping with the testing or seeding efforts, please contact the Fedora Unity team. Contact information is available at http://fedoraunity.org/.

Guess this is a really dumb question for u geeks out there, but am just

a beginner & therefore wud appreciate a detailed reply....

 

I have just copied the first CD of FedoraCore5 onto my HDD... It has

around 670 RPM's... well, I have deleted around 200 RPM's ( am in the

process of learning to Strip packages down )...

 

I have gone thru the functionality of each package before i have deleted it... fust FYI, its not been done randomly.....

 

My question is, Do I now just Burn this new ( changed CD1 folder ) as

an Image ??? Or are there any config files / other files that need to

be changed before i can do this?????

 

I realise that this is not a very straight forward process & doing a basic install & then deciding on packages is probably a better idea... Unfortunately this is a project requirement, therefore Plz help me out...

 

Thanks in advance.....
