Yes, it should be supported. >by the way now it is installed only basical system of debian (i think) >i can just use terminal to make a commands. That's as it should be. The basic system for a network install is VERY minimal. Don't worry though, once you've got the basic configuration done you'll have access to more GUI bling than you can shake a stick at. >is there any way to configure my pppoe connection and upgrade the >system? what commands i shoud use? Do you have access to the web on another system? Then this page hopefully helps: http://users.pandora.be/Asterisk-PBX/PPPoE.htm Once your network is set up you need to do the basic configuration: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/baseconfig.htm Then you can proceed to install packages. Please hold on for a little bit with this, I suspect that you'll get more answers to your email. Some may offer angles and solutions I haven't thought of. Apply own thought as required :-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus@therning.org Jabber: magnus.therning@gmail.com http://therning.org/magnus
