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.
No idea about this, but I'm interested in the solution. (I might need
to use pppoe later on.)
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 ».
This one I know :)
# if you don't already have a mount directory
sudo mkdir /media/win
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda# /media/win
(where /dev/sda# is the partition id that you see in gparted)
When you're done:
sudo umount /media/win
