I am having a similar problem, excpet it's on Redhat 8.0 Using the
install that is on the Redhat Discs, I can only get tethereal to start.
The command which ethereal, returns that it is not in the path. I am
using KDE as my window manager. The readme is somewhat confusing, but
as I understand it, tethereal "captures" the data & ethereal "displays"
it. Is this correct?. Do I have to make some sort of script or enter
some other special commands to get this to work under linux?
