There's rp-pppoe Mandrake rpms on the CD's or from Mdk mirrors.
I'm currently usin....
rp-pppoe-gui-3.5-1mdk
rp-pppoe-3.5-1mdk
.... so just 'urpmi rp-pppoe rp-pppoe-gui'
From memory (altho the roaring penguin website has good docs, so
check those), after the rpm's are installed, run 'tkpppoe' as root.
If you installed the gui rpm you get to setup everything in a nice
little gui with great explanations (tool tips). I have dynamic IP so
I didn't enter any IP, I also left DNS numbers blank and just
selected to get them 'from server'. Till I got it all setup, I also
chose 'none' for firewall (I soon installed and configured guarddog).
I also chose to permit connections 'as user'. When done I closed that
(root) gui, and started the connection with the user gui. I damn
sure don't wanna ever connect as root ;)
It was all very quick and simple. I then added the rp-pppoe icon to
my KDE panel (it'll also be on your main menu under Networking), tho
I usually leave the connection 'always on'. Using the gui, an entry
gets added on the taskbar. You can r-clk on it and choose 'close' to
save taskbar space, the connection will stay up. You can even log
in/out of KDE and X, the connection stays up. If you leave the item
on the taskbar (or just start the gui again), the gui has a small
graph for up/down speeds and also displays current rates, has 'modem'
lights, and 'start/stop' buttons. Great little app !!
If you want/need further documentation, see the DSL-howto. It's
very thorough, including trouble shooting.
