Anyone help?

I'm new to Linux and have been using the Kanotix live CD to check everything out. The Speedtouch 330 connected fine from the PPPoATM option (using Virgin.net in the UK), but since installing to HDD the thing refuses to work. I enter all the various passwords and whatnot, and the lights on the modem are both green and solid, but when I launch a browser nothing happens!

I like the look of Kanotix, but this is frustrating me!

Probably bad protocol to reply to your own thread, but I'm celebrating!

Managed to figure out (just by trial and error) that running pon speedtouch THEN the pppoatm config option manages to get me online. That seems slightly long winded though - can anyone suggest (or is there) a way of automating the whole thing?

On the whole, I'm rather happy with myself (hell, it's only taken me a week to get everything working!) and now have my machine dual booting XP and Kanotix BH9a so I can get more comfortable with Linux.
