Package: installation-reports
Version: sarge installer: No PPPoE offered during network setup
Severity: important

Hello

I've just done a debian network install for a system connected to 
internet with PPPoE and ADSL.

The installation went fine (great installer!) except for the network
setting part (just before apt configuration).

The only choice offered were direct ethernet or PPP over serial line.
The installer does not clearly state that choosing ppp will try to set 
up ppp over serial line instead of ppp over ethernet, so it's easy to 
get confused.

The installer should also offer a PPPoE choice which would call 
pppoeconf. 

I had to launch a shell and call pppoeconf, which worked without a 
problem. 

Cheers
