Hello all,

Firstly, I would like to thank the people responsible for such a great
distro. I strongly believe that now I finally may be able to make the switch
from Windows and enter the Linux domain…

Well, I’m writing here because after installing puredyne yesterday, I
couldn’t make it connect to the internet. Though I’m a newbie on Linux, I’ve
had tried some other distros: Ubuntu Studio 9.04, vanilla Ubuntu 9.04 and
Fedora 12 with Planet CCRMA (a good one, by the way). On these distros, I
could connect to the net quite easily. Although utilizing the same
parameters on the aforementioned distributions, I simply cannot connect
puredyne on the internet.

I’ve a DSL connection and I utilize the D-Link DSL 500B, a very common model
in Brazil. Linux has the advantage (and the reputation) of being quite
straightforward to make computers “see” networks and the like. On Fedora,
all I had to do was: create a DSL entry, inform my login and password and
check the “connect automatically” box. ‘Voilà’: I am online. I’ve obviously
tried the same approach on puredyne, but no luck here. After many attempts,
I tried the « pppoeconf » command and now I’m not able to edit or add new
connections within “the icon besides the clock”  – sorry, I’m not in my
machine now and I don’t remember the correct terminology, I should have
written this yesterday, but it was late at night.

Another issue: I have another hard drive (NFTS partition, with Windows XP),
how do I mount it? On the aforementioned distros, it was just a matter of
selecting it from a drop down menu (alongside the ‘home’ folder, etc) and
entering my password. I know that puredyne recognizes it, because I can see
it through « gparted ».

Sorry for the long post, guys. It won’t be only one; I still have to make
wineasio and VSTs work… J

Thanks for your time and thanks for puredyne.

Regards,

Rodrigo Chamusca
