pppoe



With Woody base frozen, is there any plan to move the pppoe package to
base?  This would greatly simplify setting up initial adsl connections
for the majority of US adsl subscribers.  As it stands now, one must
download the basedebs.tgz, appropriate boot floppies and matching
drivers, and the pppoe package prior to doing the install if you wish to
apt-get the rest.  With the fairly widespread use of pppoe on adsl
lines, and the ever-widening availability of such service, I think that
having to grab the package separately in order to set up your internet
connection is an over-complication.
