i found in /lib/modules i have 3 folders

2.4.32
2.6.16-ARCH
2.6.18-ARCH this one has the ltmodem and ltserial in it

why did they install to 2.6.18-ARCH  instead of 2.6.16-ARCH?

Re: ltmodem pkg

Which Kernel do you have? Do you still got 2.6.16?

If you do I guess you downloaded recent packages which are build for ARCH 2.6.18 which is the current version.

If you do not there should be nothing wrong with it.

Why do you still run 2.6.16? If you really have no broadband access whatsoever, you should probably look for alternatives to Arch with a fixed release schedule and 'stable' package versions, like Fedora, Suse or Ubuntu.

Re: ltmodem pkg

hey thanks for the reply  byte

that might be what i'm looking for

why do i still run 2.6.16 kernel
thats the kernel that i received on the iso
i've never updated to a newer kernel yet  i'm still working on learning the basics of linux i've only used linux for alittle over a month now so i'm still very new

well i dont want to use fedora, suse ,or ubunto
i maybe over my head trying to use arch but i'm one to learn the hard way
