Hello friends I am a novice linux user and I have just installed SL6.1 from liveCD. Now I want to connect to internet and my ISP use ADSL/pppoe type of connection. I use rp-pppoe to connect to the internet when in Fedora 13. But the problem is that I have to download that package here first which I can't do without a net connection. In RHEL 6 Deployment guide I have found some work around with pppd but have not been able to figure it out. Googling about it also comes with the solution of RP-pppoe.
1) Can anybody direct me to a HOW-TO about the method ( pppd or something for which I don't have to download a package) ? 2) Why I can't use the NM applet and the DSL tab there to configure pppoe connection ? Thanks in advance.
