Slackware 9.1 Kinks

[Peter <heisspf@skyinet.net>]

Hi,

After having quite a few problems installing RH9 I tried my hand on Slackware 
9.1 where two problems I am unable to solve.

One is just an annoying one, that I as a user can't mount /mnt/cdrom. No 
matter what setting I put in fstab and for /dev/hdb it will not let me mount 
it. I copied all the settings I have in RH7.3, to no avail.

Question: how does one make SW9.1 to let a user mount /mnt/cdrom?

The second problem is more serious, I can't apparently enter the Internet 
neither with ppp-go nor with kppp. It dials up, connects and then nothing 
happens it just sits. Ping gives 100% package loss.

Below is the message I get using ppp-go which shows that I have logged-in. I 
terminated the connection with ppp-off after 3 minutes of nothing doing. In 
the kernel ppp is set to yes. I have made several attempts, they all give the 
same log.

Where would the problem be? What other info is needed?

Thanks & regards
