Yeah I'll google for vodafone with my XP yet to get a copy, even I'm afraid it wont 'install' a working Linux variant while XP got control. > Then do 1-click install of 11.0 version, since 11.2 version is not there > yet (it wasn't when I wrote the notes anyway). My problem is that I can't use Firefox as long Suse wont be able to use the HUAWAI-modem even I know the numbers to configure it. So I may need to detour with winXP to get the modem work. And I forgot to mention that I have a fix rate contract (3GB/month) rather than time-limited sim-cards. Google shows me a lot of howto but I failed to figure a download yet. I'd appeciate any help, __ wolfgang

Done it already several times on different machines. But I guess Gnome is fine although I din't like it myself :) >> Look at the picture there.

If you don't have Internet connection you can't install anything from there, can you? > > My problem is that I can't use Firefox as long Suse wont be able to > use the HUAWAI-modem even I know the numbers to configure it. > So I may need to detour with winXP to get the modem work. Use windows to look for instructions how to use software called wvdial. Install wvdial, I think it's on the DVD. Configure it to connect to The Internet. The only thing you need to do is edit a file called /etc/wvdial.conf. Once you're there you may want to install vodafone. But if it's only needed for connecting, you won't need it since you've got wvdial working. > And I forgot to mention that I have a fix rate contract (3GB/month) > rather than time-limited sim-cards. That's just fine. Then you won't need the sms function for this at all. > > Google shows me a lot of howto but I failed to figure a download yet. > I'd appeciate any help, Try to install and configure wvdial.
