likewise, either sysrescuecd (OR ubuntu's livecd for networkmanager to |
| 31 |
get ppp0 up and running) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
i don't mind configuring ppp0 after installation, but during |
| 34 |
installation it is an major obstacle |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
imho we should contact the sysrescuecd developers and suggest more close |
| 37 |
cooperation, such that it could be called official install |
| 38 |
media in gentoo-terms |
