Bug#282711: debian-installer-manual: Slightly more beginner-friendly PPPOE text
Package: debian-installer-manual
Severity: normal
Section 7.2.3.1 of the manual says:
However, the necessary software has been installed, which means you
can configure PPPOE manually at this stage of the installation by
switching to VT2 and running pppoeconf.
I propose
However, the necessary software has been installed, which means you
can configure PPPOE manually at this stage of the installation as
follows:
- Switch to VT2: press CTRL-ALT-F2
- Log in as user "root", with the password you have chosen in the
previous step.
- run pppoeconf
- logout: type in the command logout
- Switch back to the base configuration on VT1: press CTRL-ALT-F1
(If other arches use other keystrokes to switch VT, put the right
keystroke for other arches.)
In my experience, mildly knowledgeable users will know how to login,
to type commands at a shell, etc, but may have never used their
computer in non-X mode, and not know about the console's VTs.
