I'm trying to get my dialup configured so that I can get net access.

This is a new Gentoo install. I'm running KDE and and when I goto run the KPPP dialup tool it says

Quote:
ERROR KPPP
Cannot find the ppp daemon.
Maker sure that pppd is installed.


When I list the packages of the 2nd Gentoo CD I don't really see one that is PPPD specific so I'm assuming that this is already installed and just needs to be turned on or pppd is bundled inside of another package.

How would I find out which package pppd resides in?


Thanks,

best way to find the likely culprits.

Thanks,

Even know I copied my cd packages over to HD and then cd to the directory where the packages are at and issue

emerge ppp

It's like it try's to ftp out to a bunch of different sites. Which obviously isn't going to work yet.

When I issued:
emerge -k ppp
everything went some and it grabbed the packages locally.

Whats up with that?

Thanks,
