Hello! I have just made a new installation of Linux on my G4 iMac from the Gentoo 2005.1 disk. For Speedtouch, not having an Internet connexion yet, I could not quite follow the Gentoo way. I therefore proceeded in a pedestrian fashion, borrowing instructions from both the LFS and Gentoo pages. The only incident worth of notice was a complaint on the log about net.ppp0 not having a start function, so I put one in (pppd call speedtch), and now Speedtouch works up to a point. Here is the end of the boot log:
* Re-caching dependency info (mtimes differ)... * Could not get dependency info for "net.ppp0"! * Please run: * # /sbin/depscan.sh * to try and fix this. //I don't see what this message means Plugin pppoatm.so loaded. PPPoATM plugin_init PPPoATM setdevname_pppoatm - SUCCESS:8.35 FATAL: Module pppoatm not found. //but it is in the kernel Using interface ppp0 Connect: ppp0 <--> 8.35 CHAP authentication succeeded not replacing existing default route to eth0 [192.168.0.1] local IP address 81.249.123.67 remote IP address 193.253.160.3 primary DNS address 80.10.246.130 secondary DNS address 80.10.246.3 * Mounting network filesystems ... What is wrong is that I cannot browse the Web, although I can ping. The DNS addresses above mean nothing to me, the right ones being 193.252.19.3 and 4 (but I have not been asked for them in the process). So I put the right ones in both /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/ppp/resolv.conf and rebooted, but the result was the same (and, as a matter of fact, the bogus addresses were written in /etc/ppp/resolv.conf again). That where I stand now. Once I can secure a connexion, I intend to make a proper "emerge ppp" that should put things right. I should be grateful for all suggestions.
