This section +explains how. + + + +The PPPoE connection set up during the installation will also be available +after the reboot into the installed system (see ). + + + +To have the option of setting up and using PPPoE during the installation, +you will need to install using one of the CD-ROM/DVD images that are +available. It is not supported for other installation methods (e.g. +netboot or floppy). + + + +Installing over PPPoE is mostly the same as any other installation. The +following steps explain the differences. + + + + + + +Boot the installer with modules=ppp-udeb as boot +parameter. This means that at the boot prompt you should enter: + + +install modules=ppp-udeb + + +or, if you prefer using the graphical installer: + + +installgui modules=ppp-udeb + + +This will ensure the component responsible for the setup of PPPoE +(ppp-udeb) will be loaded and run automatically. + + + + +Follow the regular initial steps of the installation (language, +country and keyboard selection; the loading of additional installer +components + + + +The ppp-udeb component is loaded as one of +the additional components in this step. If you want to install at +medium or low priority (expert mode), you can also manually select +the ppp-udeb instead of entering the +modules parameter at the boot prompt. + + + +). + + + + +The next step is the detection of network hardware, in order to identify +any Ethernet cards present in the system. + + + + +After this the actual setup of PPPoE is started. The installer will probe +all the detected Ethernet interfaces in an attempt to find a PPPoE +concentrator (a type of server which handles PPPoE connections). + + + +It is possible that the concentrator will not to be found at the first +attempt. This can happen occasionally on slow or loaded networks or with +faulty servers. In most cases a second attempt to detect the concentrator +will be successful; to retry, select Configure and start a +PPPoE connection from the main menu of the installer. + + + + +After a concentrator is found, the user will be prompted to type the login +information (the PPPoE username and password). + + + + +At this point the installer will use the provided information to establish +the PPPoE connection. If the correct information was provided, the PPPoE +connection should be configured and the installer should be able to use it +to connect to the Internet and retrieve packages over it (if needed). If +the login information is not correct or some error appears, the installer +will stop, but the configuration can be attempted again by selecting the +menu entry Configure and start a PPPoE connection. + + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
