Right
I'v been thinking about moving to linux so thought i'd try knoppix out before hand. On getting it running I am trying to conenct to the net using my adsl connection (based in the uk)
I have no real idea where to start.
What i have done has found this site:
http://christophe.delord.free.fr/en/adsl/debian.html
which claims to be a script that does exactly what I need!
One running the script I get prompted for a region so i select UK. Then (its in French) I assume a user name box followed by a password box. Upon entering the info user@isp.domain and my password the script does some processing (i can;t tell what, its in French) then stops with what i asume is a French error message.
If installing a simple USB modem is this painful I can't see my self bothering to move from windows.
Can anyone help with this dilema?
