ppp, rp-pppoe question
 

Hey, I'm trying to install rp-pppoe on my lfs system. I've installed all the prerequisites according to the BLFS book. ppp is required, but I'm not sure on how to configure it. adsl-start doesn't work, and yes, I've run adsl-setup. Can I copy the ppp configuration from my host system? Where are those files? Is there a way to configure ppp without the cryptic chat scripts, 'cause frankly, it confuses me completely.

/etc/ppp is probably where the configure scripts are. Copying things from your host system can be a good place to start with these things. I learnt a lot from Mandrake 9.1. To get pppd to connect at boot you may need to write a bootscript. Put the commands that you want to run in a shellscript, make sure it's executable, put it in /etc/rc.d/init.d and make a symlink pointing at it from /etc/rc.d/rc5.d . Change the name of the symlink so it has a capital S and a number between 0 and 99 at the front.
