progress ?

Hi Dottedmag,

from your message I gather the BeBook should be plugged in to the PC via usb cable. From the help page I thought that step came later.

Anyway I tried a few things, hoping they might throw some light on the problem. Please see the transcript below.

Thanks for your interest. Regards.


transcript follows:



I started PC normally without BeBook connected.


ralph@en:~/BeBook$ dmesg
[ 0.000000] BIOS EBDA/lowmem at: 0009fc00/0009fc00
...
[ 33.916031] I will go on reclaiming the buffers anyway.
[ 98.479984] PPP BSD Compression module registered
[ 98.523041] PPP Deflate Compression module registered


### as before except for my dail up connection


### now I plug in BeBook (it is powered up & running openinkpot)

ralph@en:~/BeBook$ sudo ifconfig usb0 up

### no error message so assume command worked

### ok now I restart the PC with the BeBook connected & powered on (running openinkpot - of course)
