So it is! I'd forgotten about that. I'm going to have to change my thinking about the netboot mini.iso to something like 'super-minimal', 'micro-minimal' or 'tiny'. :) > So there might be terms Debian gurus might use, that don't fit to the > Debian website.

But ok, my second suggestion (reading) still stands: To have the option of setting up and using PPPoE during the installation, you will need to install using one of the CD-ROM/DVD images that are available. It is not supported for other installation methods (e.g. netboot). That's from http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apds05.html.en Footnote [29] will interest you too. (CD-ROM is the same as CD. CD's have minimal and full versions). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
