pptp in stage1 for israel users

linuxpasha · n00b Joined: 26 Jun 2002 Posts: 3

Hi ,
Most of israel internet users use adsl connecton . For connection to our provider we use pptp protocol . All time that i install gentooo , i must compile this packet on some other computer , put it in my "win" partition, during gentoo installation copy it from "win" . I think it will be good idea add this packet to installation cd , or stage1/stage2 .

10x

I think, we need contact directly to gentoo creators with this problem

I think we can prepare ebuilds and all other required data and send it to developers for using in next release.

What's upgrading the modem has to do with it :?:

He's talking about ADSL, which in Israel uses pptp (unlike pppoe used in most of the world).

pptp isn't provided on the installation cd, hence the request from linuxpasha.

Maybe this thread is better suited for "Gentoo Suggestions" Instead of "All Things Gentoo", up to the moderators to decide.

off to gentoo suggestions we go. someone probably wants to file a feature request on bugs.gentoo.org. Since you've already suggested it, accompanying ebuilds will likely increase the overall chance of this getting included.

Folks -- by posting issues here, in the public forum, we allow others to learn from our experiences (and mistakes).

Just a thought.

This is only for alcatel modems (I for one don't use them), and seems quite error prone.

Using pptp looks a lot easier and no need for modem hacks.

Also if you follow the steps in the guide, the modem becomes the router/firewall. I prefer to use the computer as the router as I use port forwarding to different machines on different ports on the network and as a firewall. I'd like to keep this features (ain't iptables great

).

I sure can see some user's wanting this, but i think pptp binary should be present on gentoo's install cd. I'll look into providing an ebuild in the near future (unless someone beats me to it

).
