[gentoo-dev] pppoe...

[Budd, Tracy]

Hi,
I was reading your installation guide, because I am interested in trying out
your distro. However, I did not see any information about installing pppoe
which I will need. In the portage tree I see ppp, pppconfig and pppoed. I
assume I would be emerging those packages. Can you point me to some basic
setup information for these? I am a semi newbie.
Thanks,
-Tracy

 One suggestion would be to start by locating all of the files (libraries, 
binaries, srcipts) that are used to establish your internet connection on a 
working distro. Then boot from the Gentoo CD and mount your partitions from 
the distro with the working net connection. Then copy the needed files into 
the right places on the RAM disk that the Gentoo CD loads. You might also 
need to modprobe some kernel modules. Then start the connection from the RAM 
disk, and you can erase those partitions if you intend to install Gentoo over 
them. 

This is the method I used to get regular PPPoE working before PPPoE was 
supported by the Gentoo CD. A pain, but it worked fine. And it was well worth 
the effort. This is indeed a great distro.

Good luck !

check these two posts:
(and as always search the archives for these sorts of questions)

http://lists.gentoo.org/pipermail/gentoo-newbies/2002-March/000117.html
http://lists.gentoo.org/pipermail/gentoo-dev/2002-February/009839.html

they're similar, but should help you out.
