Knoppix, DSL, Puppy and Slackware might with some help. AntiX might send you a patched CD with what you need?

Good luck, glad I have a gateway modem so the auto-LAN connect just works...

Greetings: Fetched and burned it looks very good but I have one caveat

in our rural area: We only have one provider that requires rp-pppoe to

connect to the INet via an ADSL switch.. (Very common I thought.)

AntiX does not have this program bundled in the live CD, so it's a

Catch22 situation.. (Debian repositories have it of course. :^(.)

Any suggestions? TIA..
