Using the netinstall ISO (not the businesscard), do a normal installation, leaving the network unconfigured. This will be a base install only, but the package pppoeconf is on that cd. Once you have the base install in, simply apt-get install pppoeconf, and use that to get your connection going. From there, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list, and install whatever else you need from there. -- Cheers, Dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
