No, it just let the default one be printed instead. The one in the function was just plain wrong and the default one is reasonable: Sorry - this system lacks PPP kernel support You either had to know what you were doing or cluelessly fail to follow the exceptionaly simple instructions to build and install a kernel+modules to get to that point, so a long winded message explaning how to correct the problem isn't likely to be useful. I suppose a better message could be written, but I didn't see a point. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
