Regards, Andrei Actually, Andrei was right the cd includes not only the ppp but both packages. When I issued the aptitude install ppp command that installed the pppconfig as well. After the installation everything went smoothly. So I am now up and running happily; in the meantime, I would like to thank to everyone who helped me solving this problem. I have one minor glitch left. I can issue the pon command only in root mode. Is there a way of changing that to a simple user mode? Run this as root (replace user_name with the username you want to use): adduser user_name dip This will work only after the user is logged out and back in.

Re: pppconfig command not found
Thanks for the pppconfig package but I cannot install it because of dependency problems. jmak Which dependecy problems? Help us help you. You can always paste the relevant information in your email (in this case, it would be the output of dpkg). Also, depending on the amount of missing packages, you can easily download them from Ubuntu. And a question to the other listeners in this thread: it would be amazingly convenient if apt-get could generate a list of packages to be downloaded from the net. Preferably in a format easily parseable by wget. Is it possible? The game dowload .deb of x, dpkg -i x, x needs y, dwonload .deb of y, dpkg -i y, y needs w and z... is no fun. Another question: from Ubuntu, can he get into Debian and use apt-get? In this way, Ubuntu would provide the internet connection. I don't know if chroot would do the trick. -- Software is like sex: it is better when it is free.

I suspect that you didn't choose the right install options. You may
be able to correct the problem by re-running the installer,
called base-install. Try man base-install to see if there's a
man page.
There may be a more fundamental problem, however. Earlier you posted
that your installation media lacks pppconfig, which is part of the main
distribution. Do you have a full set of the installation media? You
should not have to run around the net looking for missing pieces.

You may be able to correct the problem by re-running the installer, called base-install. Try man base-install to see if there's a man page. There may be a more fundamental problem, however. Earlier you posted that your installation media lacks pppconfig, which is part of the main distribution. Do you have a full set of the installation media? You should not have to run around the net looking for missing pieces. snip --This is the repository I downloaded from. http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/etch_di_rc2/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso I didn't see CD-2, so I suspect CD-1 was the only available iso for xfce. jmak Apparently somebody decided that ppp and pppconfig are not essential. I think your case suggests that it is, so you might want to take up the issue on a developer list such as debian-cd or debian-testing, or just file a bug report. In the meantime you can find the dependancies of ppp using the command apt-cache depends ppp and install each of those dependancies before you installing ppp and pppconfig. Here is the output I get on Sarge: $ apt-cache depends ppp ppp Depends: libc6 Depends: libpam0g Depends: libpcap0.7 Depends: zlib1g Depends: libpam-modules Depends: libpam-runtime Depends: netbase Depends: procps Depends: makedev Suggests: libatm1 Conflicts: ppp-pam Conflicts: ppp-udeb Conflicts: pppdcapiplugin Replaces: ppp-pam Replaces: ppp-udeb Thanks for clarifying the issue. I wait till the final version come out hoping that it will include the package. In the mean time I take up the issue on the developer-testing list or file a bug report as you suggested.

Re: pppconfig command not found
Thanks for clarifying the issue. I wait till the final version come out hoping that it will include the package. In the mean time I take up the issue on the developer-testing list or file a bug report as you suggested. It seems that all you have to do is install two packages, ppp and pppconfig. If the claim that ppp is in the CD is correct, you can install ppp from the CD and dpkg -i pppconfig from the .deb. -- Software is like sex: it is better when it is free.

In the mean time I take up the issue on the developer-testing list or file a bug report as you suggested. ---} ---} Jmak I usually install with expert typed in at the command prompt so I have more control, and once the base system is installed and reboots, select my own packages. This works in Sarge as well as Etch. I have an early and broken install for the latter and can still install etch from that. So it works. But even on a just hit Enter install you may get a list of modules to load during the install. Use cursor keys to scroll down to the ppp module, and the space bar to select it. Then continue. At some point in the install the installer asks if you want to install from the Internet. Even if you are not connected, select yes. Have your modem switched on anyway. Then the installer will ask if you want to configure ppp or a connection to the Internet? Again answer yes, then go through the prompts and unless you want it for another name allow provider to be the default and answer correctly at the prompt for telephone number, login name etc.. When complete and it's presented to you at the end of this process. Read it and make certain all is well, and select yes to have it written to the file. Then get back to the installers main menu and keep going. You will find that the installer will dial out for you. If you have an Internet connection and your modem switched on, it will connect, if you've supplied the correct information. That will happen even as you are answering questions and will show what is happening on your monitor. You don't have to install from the Internet then, you can just keep using your CD/DVD. The installer will tell you what it can't get hold of or whatever as it goes along. It's then up to you if you disconnect or leave the system connected. I usually don't like to leave the system connected until I have a firewall enabled and configured. But having said that, I have also left the connection on, and found the default firewall very good. I think that pppconfig is not on the disks, in etch at any rate, till the third CD, if you're installing from CD. So maybe that's why you can't find it if you have only one. But as you see, the installer will create the dialup files for you during the install, if you request it to do so.

pppconfig command not found
Hi, I've just installed etch and want to hook up to the Internet via an external modem. But when I issue the command pppconfig I get the message command not found. pppconfig always worked for me before. Now I dont know how to hook up to the internet. Also after installation my ubuntu on the other partition doesn't see the partitions any longer. What could be the problem. jmak __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: pppconfig command not found

If I understood right, when you installed Etch, Ubuntu ceased to see the partitions in which Etch was installed. Perhaps you changed the filesystem in the partition when you installed Etch; see your /etc/fstab in Ubuntu and verify if it is correct. jmak __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
