Yes, I think this was a bug in earlier betas: one of the shell scripts the Mandrake installation sets up sometimes has two parameters (accidentally) missing from it. The line in /etc/ppp/peers/adsl should read pty "/usr/bin/pppoa3 -vpi 0 -vci 38" but may get written as pty "/usr/bin/pppoa3 -vpi -vci " If that is the problem, adding the parameters and rebooting will fix it :) > Also, is it possible that during installation, mandrake can ask for the > mgmt.o file from floppy disk, so I could just pop in the floppy and get > everything properly configured during installation? > (if such configuration can be made to work, of course). That would be useful. But, when installing a beta, I never format /home, put mgmt.o in /home/thebrix, then run a script from there to start everything as modem_run and pppd are installed by the beta: modem_run -m -f mgmt.o pppd call adsl privoxy /etc/privoxy/config firestarter & Alastair
