Hi folks,
sorry, but I´m new and obviouslto silly to search

I have installed the new RC on my stick and I like to go to the internet. I have german DSL-Flatrate at t-online.de I have started PPPoE, as I know it from knoppix. I tried "pon dsl-provider" but it did not work. I think I have to be root. But how can i become root?
Su first, but then?
Please excuse my bad english.

You could also do "sudo pon dsl-provider" to prevent having to log in first and log out after.

The FAQ and Wiki are your friend.

They exist for a reason. Please use them.

Thanks~

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.
