[Westwales] Re:SuSe10.0 saga

Thanks yet again chaps.......

The @modem link was to /dev/ttyS0 so I created one manually as you suggested 
Matt, and the thing worked.  Trouble was on reboot it was removed.  On 
further investigation I spotted  /etc/sysconfig/suseconfig  the offending 
little beast that has been putting things back to the way they want it ("Ve 
haff ways of making you connect to ze internet"  sprang to mind)  ;-)  I 
opened the file and set a "yes" to a "no" - reset my settings - removed 
kinternet from the system - rebooted and then had control.  I can now use 
kppp/kmail/Firefox as I prefer and rebooting even leaves the icons where I 
put them on the desktop.  A case perhaps of SuSe being over helpful.

Without the back up from you guys it would have been a case of Windows winning 
the desktop war again, as this machine is for a friend of mine who is not too 
familiar with computers and needs a machine that is not as open as a barn 
door for web/e-mail activities.

Thanks again fellas,

Bob
