Bug#404264: installation-report: pppd unavailable for usbserial evdo connection
Subject: installation-report: pppd unavailable for usbserial evdo connection
Package: installation-reports
Version: 2.23
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I would have been unable to use the net install features but for the fact that I had some ubuntu
disks around to snag the pppd from.
Otherwise seems to be relatively working (after I inhaled gdm/etc). Haven't been able to install
synaptic for some reason (claims that it can't satisfy libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3.3, even though apt
is already installed & apparently up-to-date!?!.

Comments/Problems:
When I hit function keys on CD bootup, menus
flashed several times.
Lack of detection for my network apparatus (usb EVDO modem) & lack of availability of pppd upon
completion would have made this less than useful for me if I didn't have the package in a ubuntu
distribution. (I think you should have more types available in your checklist, as it isn't
necessarily an 'error', but...)
