List,

I tried Ubuntu 6.06 on one of my friend's computer.
His comptuer's specs are

Intel Pentium III 866 MHz
Intel 810 - Motherboard 
256 MB of RAM
120 GB Hdd (80 + 20) 
HP monitor 
Peripherals (essentail kbd, mouse, samsung CD-RW
drive)

Though the Live CD worked well without problems, I
actually couldn't connect to internet. This is
because, his ISP is Exatt Net and the provider uses
raspppoe (for authentication, I guess. I don't know
what sort of internet connection this is). 

Assuming that this connection was pppoe, I tried
running pppoe on the Live CD, and found that it isn't
available in the Live CD. (Is this what I was supposed
to do? )

Tried Knoppix for the same, but Knoppix couldn't
figure out the monitor and the screen was showing a
series of varied color horizontal lines, after bootup.


Is there any other Live CD, that would have pppoe on
its Live CD to try and connect to his internet.

Perhaps, if someone could post a how-to on the wiki
with details about the "cablewala ka internet" or an
ISP such as one mentioned above, it would be helpful
for many.
