Hi all,
I just installed Mandrake 7.2 and tried connecting to internet. Now I guess I have a big problem!
Please consider first I'm a total beginner (i use Linux from 2 days).
Ok here we go:
as described in the manual coming in Mandrake 7.2 Power pack i clicked the modem icon for connecting to the internet (I've previously given the details as phone number, DNS, etc.) and I received the following message:
"impossible to run pppd. Check if pppd is installed or if the path is correct"
(litteral translation from italian- my native language)
I then read the KPPP manual and understand pppd is needed for the PPP protocol to work under Linux.
I searched in the suggested directories and found nothing!
So it's not installed. Panic! http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
What can I do?
KPPP manual also says you have to compile kernel for it to support ppp protocol! Big panic!
thanks in advance for any help
