The meaning of the Subject is that, of three different distributions of Linux on my system, only Corel Linux gets me to the Internet.
My pleasure with CL's ease of install, but my frustration with its nonstandard configuration, led me to buy McCarty's Learning Debian book. It came with a Debian CD, so I installed it. I have a PPP-sudden-death syndrome with it that Debian gurus have not yet been able to cure. A friend sent me a Mandrake CD to try, and the install was very easy. But when I ran kppp, it said that the kernel did not include PPP support! I am =positive= that I never told the install anything that would lead it to think I didn't want to use dialup. So thank you, Corel, for proving that there's nothing basically wrong with my system that prevents Debian and Mandrake from giving me access to the Internet. That gives me hope that some day I may have dialup from all of my distros. -- Lane ---- Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA ---- Getting where I want to be with Linux...
