Granted, the UI is butt-ugly. But it does the job effortlessly, once you
get used to it. For me that's the important thing. YMMV.

In case I'm not the only one who has run into this problem, here's what
happened and what fixed things.
On my potato firewall box, I ran a custom 2.2.15 kernel with the stock
PPPoE package (Roaring Penguin v 1.0-1) from the Debian archive with
good results. The only problem was that for unclear re

Could anyone now using the latest 2.2.17 kernel and PPPoE confirm that
it works for them on an ADSL connection? I've been unsuccessful in
getting this combination to work, and I wonder if it's some config I'm
botching (seems most likely) or if something fundamentally doesn't
work/is broken.

Many thanks for the responses! I've managed to create a .deb from source
and install it. The process is somewhat more complicated than compiling
a kernel, but not that much.

There have been a number of threads lately about where to find info
about how to create a .deb package from source. What I'd like to hear
from people who do this regularly is how complex and involved this is.
Now obviously the estimate will depend on one's skills, so please no

How about www.3com.com and www.hp.com? These won't come through for me

Don't know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised. Also which kernel are

Once the basic Debian system is installed from floppies and the rest of
the system is to be installed via dselect over the Internet, how does
one do this securely? It seems like all manner of mischief could occur

Can't seem to find the answer for this simple question in the FAQs and
HOWTOs: does the standard potato install have ip-masquerade compiled
into it as it comes from the Debian site, or do I need to recompile the
kernel to to get this option?

However, in my new potato installation there is no such file.
