I know now the method is pptp I doesn't know how to install it simply (but someone tell me to download a targz) I wanna know the simple way ;-) I'm not sure how applicable this is to your situation but when installing DSL under v7.2 you're asked whether you're in "France" or "other

just for kicks I did an strace on cdrecord, and found that I didn't have any of the files it thinks it needs, not even the /usr/lib/i686. I can burn anything but this caught my attention. Is this normal or have my brains leaked out? I just did this on my system. The only file that came up

This thread has become mired in vitriole that is really being mis-directed. Well, as we are all discovering right now, that is because there are different 'versions' of 7.2, all of them clearly marked as '7.2', with no real way of differentiating them, and what you get when you get them.
