Just installed Ubuntu Warty (4.10). This Debian derivative seems to do things much differently than the Red Hat distros that I have gotten used to. Can't get Ubuntu's adaptation of rp-pppoe (which worked on Red Hat and Mandrake) to work. It seems to connect, but can't even ping. Has anyone gotten Ubuntu (or another Debian) to work with Verizon? I have gotten the standard rp-pppoe to work with two other distros. Should I compile and install it (have not yet learned the intricacies of maintaining a Debian system)? I downloaded the .deb from the Ubuntu universe, but have no idea how to use the package manager or even what it is called (synaptic doesn't seem to recognize the file). Do I need to uninstall the existing pppoe app before installing Roaring Penguin? How is this done (i.e. what is the equivalent of rpm -e)? I really want to replace my aging RH 7.3, but haven't gotten this basic stuff to work with other distros. -- _______________________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.
