How to setup ADSL broadband connection



Hi folks,

Debian-Testing-amd64-netinst.iso

How to make ADSL broadband connnection.


Now I have a PCI ethernet installed, not to use the onboard LAN
# dmesg | grep eth
eth0: RealTel RTL8139 at 0xffffc20000002c00, 00:50:fc:6c:70:f7, IRQ5
eth0:  Identified 8139 chip type  'RTL-8139C'
* * * end * * *


To my surprise I failed to mount floppy.  Its entry is already on
/etc/fstab;
......
/dev/fd0   /media/floppy0   auto   rw,user,noauto  0  0
* end *
Therefore I have to copy the output by hand.


# lspci
-bash: lspci: command not found.


# uame -a
Linux debian 2.6.16-2-amd64-generic #1 Sun Jul 16 01:12:23 CEST 2006
x86_64 GNU/Linux
* * * end  * * *


I tried to run;
# pppoeconf
# adsl-setup
etc.
Non of them can work debian, this version.  The PC is connected to a
ADSL modem, only dynamic IP supplied.

Please advise which command shall I run to make connection.  Afterwards
what command shall I run to download and install the remaining
packages?  Can I select packages to download?

TIA

B.R.
SL
