Internet - connecting with the CD install is a breeze... why is the hd-install different. Thye only way I can connect and use Konqueror is by following tyhe Debian(?) method ie pppconfig, PON isp. Kppp connects but a web browser cant??
There's not a lot of use in running pon and kppp. In Linux you have to use kppp or pon to connect and then launch your browser.

As well as the various forums, you might like to look at (do a google for them, although some are available as debs -- have a look in synaptic)
