I got the following error messages when I launch kppp as a root:

<start of error msgs>
This kernel has no PPP support, neither compiled in nor via the kernel
module loader

To solve this problem:
* contact your system administrator
or
* install a kernel with PPP support

</end of error msgs>

Also, when I chose probe in sndconfig, I got the following error messages:

<start of error msgs>
Error: No sound modules found
You don't seem to be running a kernel
with modular sound enabled (soundcore.o
was not found in the module search path).
</end of error msgs>

What should I do? Recompile the kernel?

I have the slackware 7.0 distribution, and the same problem with kppp.

My pppd is version 2.3.10 but the ppp.o module in the kernel source is 2.3.7.

So I grabbed the pppd 2.3.10 source distributions, which has a shell script
for upgrading the
ppp.c in the kernel source, and ran it.

I recompiled the kernel, and the ppp.o module (and other linked modules).
I didn't have to reconfigure the kernel nor to recompile the pppd binary.
Once I copied the modules where they should be, everything worked without any

error messages.

Thanks, but where should I get the source distributions, how many files
should I download?

Thanks,
Henry
