List,
I tried Ubuntu 6.06 on one of my friend's computer. His comptuer's specs are
Intel Pentium III 866 MHz Intel 810 - Motherboard 256 MB of RAM 120 GB Hdd (80 + 20) HP monitor Peripherals (essentail kbd, mouse, samsung CD-RW drive)
Though the Live CD worked well without problems, I actually couldn't connect to internet. This is because, his ISP is Exatt Net and the provider uses raspppoe (for authentication, I guess. I don't know what sort of internet connection this is).
Assuming that this connection was pppoe, I tried running pppoe on the Live CD, and found that it isn't available in the Live CD. (Is this what I was supposed to do? )
Tried Knoppix for the same, but Knoppix couldn't figure out the monitor and the screen was showing a series of varied color horizontal lines, after bootup.
Is there any other Live CD, that would have pppoe on its Live CD to try and connect to his internet.
Perhaps, if someone could post a how-to on the wiki with details about the "cablewala ka internet" or an ISP such as one mentioned above, it would be helpful for many.
