I think your case suggests that it is, so you might want to take up the issue on a developer list such as debian-cd or debian-testing, or just file a bug report.

I wait till the final version come out hoping that it will include the package. In the mean time I take up the issue on the developer-testing list or file a bug report as you suggested. ppp *is* included on the xfce disk, but not pppconfig. This will probably not change on the final version because packages are included by popularity. Regards, Andrei -- Actually, Andrei was right the cd includes not only the ppp but both packages. When I issued the aptitude install ppp command that installed the pppconfig as well. After the installation everything went smoothly. So I am now up and running happily; in the meantime, I would like to thank to everyone who helped me solving this problem. I have one minor glitch left. I can issue the pon command only in root mode. Is there a way of changing that to a simple user mode? Thanks alot, Jmak __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

pppconfig command not found
Hi, I've just installed etch and want to hook up to the Internet via an external modem. But when I issue the command pppconfig I get the message command not found. pppconfig always worked for me before. Now I dont know how to hook up to the internet. Also after installation my ubuntu on the other partition doesn't see the partitions any longer. What could be the problem. jmak __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I thought when I install the distro the pppconfig is part of the istallation. So what can I do now? jmak (Sorry the previous email went to the wrong place) __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

What could be the problem. If I understood right, when you installed Etch, Ubuntu ceased to see the partitions in which Etch was installed. Perhaps you changed the filesystem in the partition when you installed Etch; see your /etc/fstab in Ubuntu and verify if it is correct. That's exactly what happened. But for that problem I found a solution. In /etc/default/rcS I changed the FSCKFIX=no to yes. Now, Ubuntu sees the partitions again. So that is ok now. But i have no clue why this happened. I didnt touched anything and the installation went without a glitch. The problem now is that I dont have pppconfig installed. jmak __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
