At John Hasler's suggestion, I ran plog, and it said, "This system lacks kernel support for ppp." I hope you won't get mad at me for saying this, but I'm trying to accomplish the same thing, so far unsuccessfully, in Mandrake 6.1. I'm getting the same basic error messages: kernel has no ppp support. What makes it interesting in Mandrake is that last night I reinstalled with the "Install Everything" option, some 1600M of stuff. When Mandrake boots, there are a lot of messages about wrong kernel version, which leads me to a more fundamental question that I think I'll put in a separate thread in case the right person is skipping this one: can one distribution interfere with another? -- Lane ---- Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA ---- Getting where I want to be with Linux...
