Have never been able to get the install configuration of my adsl/pppoe/earthlink acccount to work. My choice to start the connection at boot is not implemented and adsl-start, after login, does not work. My usual workaround is to run adsl-setup after boot [with the identical values entered] and add adsl-start to rc.local. With a fresh install of beta2, using only /home from a previous install, the boot time connection is successfully being made but only after running adsl-setup after logging in [adsl-start in rc.local is not needed]. Below are some boot messages and attached is a text file containing, hopefully, pertinent sections of report.bug: ***************Before running adsl-setup***************** Aug 30 22:30:10 localhost net_cnx_up: SIOCDELRT: No such process Aug 30 22:30:10 localhost net_cnx_up: adsl-start: Cannot read configuration file '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Aug 30 22:30:10 localhost internet: Checking internet connections to start at boot failed Aug 30 22:30:11 localhost crond: crond startup succeeded Aug 30 22:30:11 localhost xfs: xfs startup succeeded Aug 30 22:30:11 localhost anacron: anacron startup succeeded Aug 30 22:30:11 localhost rc: Starting kheader: succeeded Aug 30 22:30:12 localhost adsl: Bringing up ADSL link Aug 30 22:30:12 localhost adsl: .
