pppoe install

2004-06-08 Thread Jan Schukat
Yesterday (June 7) I downloaded the sarge-i386-netinst.iso and installed the base system on my new VIA CL9000 board for soon to become my DSL Router. Now, after the first reboot, I set up root and normal user and then the ppp configuration script starts. Well, I need pppoe with my Teledat 300 LAN.

Guys, We're still putting TRANS.TBL files in every directory on the CDs. Surely by now we can just lose them? They're going to be wasting space on all the images (especially important on netinst and business card), and I'd bet that we're not bothered about supporting people renaming files by hand
