How do you take dial up internet in Ubuntu linux?

Q. Also please mention how can you login as root? I am new to linux and am self learning it.. i cant install new packages also.. also should i do anything special to install my modem in ubuntu.. theres a folder named linux in the drivers folder of my modem cd.. but doubleclicking the driver file in the folder doesnt yield any results..help ?

A. there is a program called KPPP.. on application menu >> Application >> Add/Remove >> on "search" box just type in "KPPP" and on "show" box select all available application... you'll see 2 programs, KPPP and KPPPLogView.. select both and click Apply..

In ubuntu, there's no need for you to login as root.. if you want to install a program (a firewall as example) just type "sudo apt-get install firestarter" at command prompt.. sudo enables you to run admin/root command.

installing a modem driver that are not PnP in ubuntu requires a little knowlegde about linux.. 1st.. you have to read readme.txt, how to install documentation in that linux driver's folder.. some driver requires special care and special command. 2nd. Surf the web for the latest driver and download it.. 3rd Double clicking driver file wont let you go anywhere.. please read all documents in that folder and you might find commands like this ./configure, make, make install.. so read the instruction.. if you still have problems installing the modem driver.. feel free to zip and email me those driver files

How can i compress hundreds of files into separate 25mb zip files?
Q. I am trying to put thousands of files on to my website My server will only allow me to upload 25mb files each time. Sooo. I was wondering if there is a certain program or a way to make thousands of files into separate 25 MB zip files. And only zip can't do anything else

A. Stuffit may be able to do what you're asking. It can compress to most formats and is available for Mac and Win (maybe Linux too). You can also set it to split files over a given filesize into segments so you can set a 25Mb limit for filesize.

How to turn a Minecraft seed into a zip file?
Q. My friends and I are trying to make take the DivideByZero Minecraft seed for our online server, but I am not sure how to do it. Does anybody have a link to a .zip file, or know how to make this seed into one? Thanks!

A. This method assumes that you have a world by that seed in your saves list.
Are you on a Windows or Mac (or Linux)?
If you are on a:
Mac, go to your home folder (the folder named your username), open Library, open Application Support, open Minecraft, then saves, and then zip the folder called the name of the world. There you are!
Windows, open up a program called Run (in Programs/Accessories) and type in %appdata% and hit enter. Open up .minecraft, then saves, and then zip the file called the save.
Linux, open up your home folder and press Ctrl-H (to shop hidden files), and look for .minecraft. Then find the saves folder, and zip the save.
