> I need PPPoE support to get online - is the source
> installer PPPoE friendly? 

as far as i know, pppoe is not included on the gentoo
installer.  i used a version of ppp from:
http://big.uwaterloo.ca/~mostrows/

and you can get pppoe from:
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/

burn them to a disk 

here are some instructions that worked for me...

(before doing anything)
modprobe ppp_generic (if you need to)
modprobe (yr_eth_card)


(after setting up filesystems and building the archive on the installer)
have pppoe and ppp on a cd ready to be copied over.

from the outside shell:

mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom -o ro -t iso9660
mkdir /mnt/gentoo/usr/local/pppoe
cp /mnt/cdrom/ppp241pp.tgz /mnt/gentoo/usr/local/pppoe/
  ((same for rp-pppoe))
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile

mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
chmod 600 /dev/ppp
cd /usr/local/pppoe/
tar -zvxf ppp-241-p.gz
   ((install ppp ))

unpack rp-pppoe   ./go
follow setup instructions...

(exit)
   ifconfig eth0 up  (from exited screen)
(chroot back in)
   adsl-start        (from shell)

exit
try ping.  if it works...
   
reenter. then yr ready for emerge action!


good luck,
/r
