Most Spins fall through the crack because no one wants to maintain them. That was the precise point I was making in the earlier mail. The adsl-setup | start | stop script use the settings in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 to bring the interface up/down etc. So, a hard route is to figure out how to configure that using text editors. The somewhat easier route might be to test out whether NetworkManager actually can handle DSL connections and, if there are significant end user annoyance, file appropriate bugs to fix get it fixed (or, perhaps motivate a student well enough to take this as a summer project and introduce this feature into NM) As regards package removal/inclusion in RHEL, the logic and workflow is a bit different than what it is in Fedora (although there are long chalks of similarity). -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work _______________________________________________ Fedora-india mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-india
