As a special service "SfR Fresh" has tried to format the requested source page into HTML format using source code syntax highlighting with prefixed line numbers. Alternatively you can here view or download the uninterpreted source code file. That can be also achieved for any archive member file by clicking within an archive contents listing on the first character of the file(path) respectively on the according byte size field.

   13 Introduction
   14 ============
   15 
   16 pppoe is a user-space redirector which permits the use of PPPoE
   17 (Point-to-Point Over Ethernet) with Linux.  PPPoE is used by many
   18 DSL service providers.
   19 
   20 Installation
   21 ============
   22 
   23 Requirements
   24 ------------
   25 
   26 1) Linux 2.2.9 or later on Intel, Sparc or PowerPC.  It may work on
   27    Alpha, too -- anyone care to let me know?
   28 
   29 	   OR
   30 
   31    Linux 2.0.36 or later.
   32 
   33 	   OR
   34 
   35    FreeBSD, NetBSD or OpenBSD with BPF support.  I have access only
   36    to FreeBSD.  In general, I can't answer questions about the *BSD's
   37    as well as I can about Linux.
   38 
   39 
   40 2) pppd 2.3.10 or later.  Versions 2.3.7 and later work unless you use
   41    demand-dialling.  For demand dialling, you *must* use 2.3.10 or later.
   42 
   43 QUICKSTART
   44 ----------
   45 
   46 If you're lucky, the "quickstart" method will work.  After unpacking
   47 the archive, become root and type:
   48 
   49 	./go
   50 
   51 This should configure, compile and install the software and set up your
   52 DSL connection.  You'll have to answer a few questions along the way.
   53 
   54 If you want the GUI wrapper, type:
   55 
   56 	./go-gui
   57 
   58 If ./go and ./go-gui didn't work, read the rest of this README.
   59 
   60 Compiling
   61 ---------
   62 
   63 Compile and install pppd if you don't already have it.  Then:
   64 
   65 1) Unpack:
   66 
   67 	$ tar xzvf rp-pppoe-xxx.tar.gz
   68 
   69 2) Change to source directory:
   70 
   71 	$ cd src
   72 
   73 3) Configure:
   74 
   75 	$ ./configure
   76 
   77 4) Compile:
   78 
   79 	$ make
   80 
   81 4) Install (this step must be done as root)
   82 
   83 	# make install
   84 
   85 5) Now read doc/HOW-TO-CONNECT
