Hi Kazim,

Thanks for your help.

As I feel these commands are required for fedora but not for unix/linux ( As I am using linux red hat), Can you cross check this and let me know.

Thanks & Regards,
Udit Kumar

dear member.

thanks for the comments. well the commands work fine in redhat too. i have tried them. have u installed ns. if you did then congrats but if there is some problem, do tell me

regards

Hi Kazim,
