The problem is not impossible to overcome on my side. |
| 10 |
but the problem remains that most people will not have any other |
| 11 |
network connection but a modem. |

having the pp tools is all wel and good but if there is no modem drivers on the liveCD then whats the point. |
| 14 |
To solve my problem I have to copy the portage tree and source for pciutils and modem on a usb device to my home machine. |

Not everybody have big expecive network toys or lines to get things. there are people that will use a cheap modem that needs additional drivers and they won't have access |

to any other internet machine to compile additional drivers on etc etc |
