** Description changed: - My computer is wired via a SpeedStream DSL modem/router to the telephone - line. Before I can go online my ISP requires a logon with password. I - cannot do this when booting with any Ubuntu installation DVD I've used - (14.04 & 16.04, both 32 and 64 bit). There is no way I've found to run - pppoeconf to attach to the internet unless pppoeconf is available to do - so. + pppoeconf is missing from the ubuntu-mate-desktop meta-package. + + Impact: My computer is wired via a SpeedStream DSL modem/router to the + telephone line.
