ok in Ubuntu 7.10 i used ppoeconf and it works well - automatically signs it in

In Ubuntu 8.10 - well what to say  totally wow -
 just click on the network icon and follow the instructions to setup a
new DSL connection - as simple

and it logins automatically on start - does not ask for password everytime -

so thats solved

thanks

[ubuntu-in] Ubuntu Tamil Team - Intrepid Release Event - Erode

2008-11-10 Thread ம. ஸ்ரீ ராம தாஸ் |Sri Ramadoss M
Ubuntu Tamil Team had its Intrepid Release Event on Nov 09 at Erode. Erode
IT Association had made complete arrangements for the event. Myself and
Padmanathan from Ubuntu Tamil Team took part and conducted event.

It was a day long event with the participants introduced hands on to Ubuntu,
starting from Ubuntu Installation, Setting Tamil Features, Listening to
Songs, Playing Videos, Repository and package Management, GNU/ Linux File
Structure etc.,

Participants took part with great interest. We made use of Cutomised Tamil
Version of Ubuntu for the event which received great response from the
participants. Special Thanks to members of Erode IT Association - Raja,
Balu, Srinivasan, Manohar, Mutharasu for organising this event in such a
short span of time, immediately after we called for hosting such an event
outside Chennai, the Capital of TamilNadu.

Erode IT association has announced a Ubuntu Competition for participants to
keep the momemtum going! This has paved way for more events, the details of
which will be furnished soon.

Document prepared for this event can be had from:
http://ubuntu-tam.org/avanam/nigazhchi/2008/nov/erode/

Heart felt thanks for Erode IT Association for Organising this event. Blog
with few snaps taken at event:
