adsl and ethernet modem

I noticed that the packages pppoe and pppoeconf are not installed by default to set my internet connection ADSL ethernet modem. How do I connect internet with the live cd?
Many thanks to those who want to answer.

Are you trying to do this?  If pppoe and pppoeconf are not installed by default (and I've confirmed this to be the case), then you'll likely have to download the deb files (try this link for pppoe and this link for pppoeconf) and install them via "dpkg -i". 

Hope this helps.

Re: adsl and ethernet modem

thanks a lot, it-s just a bit strange to not include them in the live/installation set

Yep, and you'll have to get its dependencies as well as the dependencies of its dependencies.
If someone could open Synaptic in a fresh Crunchbang, mark pppoeconf for installation and check which packages it needs it would help you (I use regular Squeeze).
Also make sure to ask corenominal (#! main developer) to add that package to the next version.

You can have a look there, in Debian Squeeze Packages Search; all dependencies needed by a package are always listed:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/pppoe
(And Debian Packages Search can be added as a search engine in your browser, if you often use it).

I forgot: if you have network-manager there then you shouldn't need pppoeconf. Just configure an (A)DSL connection with your username (full: username@host.com) and password, click 'Apply' and you should be good to go.
