Re: debian testing netinstall via pppoe?

* Urs Thuermann <urs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [2006-06-18 09:17:29 +0200]:

Is it possible to use the etch netinstall CD to install a debian
testing system via pppoe? I have tried but didn't succeed. The
installer only lets me choose between the two ethernet network cards
and then asks me for IP configuration for the selected NIC. But I'd
need to configure ppp parameters, i.e. username and password for my
provider.

This works for the testing distribution, not sure about Sarge:

Using the netinstall ISO (not the businesscard), do a normal installation,
leaving the network unconfigured. This will be a base install only, but
the package pppoeconf is on that cd. Once you have the base install in,
simply apt-get install pppoeconf, and use that to get your connection
going. From there, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list, and install whatever
else you need from there.
