Thanks,

However this doesn't seem to be the problem.

Example For user Tesst:

In the file/home/Tesst/.bash_profile there is a line USERNAME=""
I put the username between the quotes, restarted the inet-service, and
everything works again.

1. RH5.0 -> RH5.1 upgrade doesn't help me...

Well, I have been using RH5.0 without problems since RH5.0 came out.
I run LILO and can boot to either Linux or Win95 on startup.  Each OS has
its own hard disk.

I finally purchaced the RH5.1 CD set because:

        - I needed to get fat32 support to read/write to my Win95 disk.

        - I wanted the latest g++ and libraries for advanced code
         development.   The g++ compiler on RH5 was causing me
         some problems  (we do a lot of OOP and template stuff).

        - General system upgrade/maintainence in one upgrade.

I just upgraded last night selecting the "Upgrade" option on the RH5.1
install program.  The process went smoothly.  My system successfully booted
up to RH5.1 "Manhatten".

Now, I have the following problems:

        - I cannot mount any fat32 partitions.  

After saying  mount -t  vfat /dev/hda1 /Win95, the system will not
recognize the windoze partitions.   I have tried leaving the filesystem
parameters out, or using just "fat" or "dos", nothing works.

        - PPP no longer works.

I try to run my old scripts to dial-up and I get a message that the kernal
does not support PPP.

        - My soundcard no longer works.

I reran the setup program -- it detects my soundcard, a Soundbaster 16, but
when it trys to play a sample sound, nothing happens.

Now, I figure that all the above are probably modules missing from my new
kernal.  The Upgrade process never "asked" me about configuring PPP, sound,
or even other filesystems.  I figured that it must have tried to copy my
old kernal options -- and it did not work?

Is there anything I can do short of manually recompiling my kernal or just
wiping my Linux system and reinstalling?  Any advice is appreciated.
