1. In the newbie installation (Install from the scratch) --it didn't install PPP (not to mention suseppp)--- l8r I had to manually install it. When I reinstalled the whole Linux again, I browsed and found that PPP was not selected either. Ok, they may leave that as an optional thing because some people may not connect via modem. Well, during configuration, YaST does ask if you want to configure modem---then was SLIP installed by default? I guess newbie shouldn't have to encounter that since most of the linux users uses PPP now days.
I agree! Since SuSE is marketing the US heavily, PPPD and modem setup needs to be streamlined. Look at all the email traffic PPP problems cause!
just choose what you need in the networking section. i think alot of people in europe use isdn, which is why it's setup as the default. but it's easily changed in yast during the initial install, or later. it's really worth the
Good point about Germany. But how hard can it be to mod Yast to handle slip AND pppd so it's easier for newbies? :-) [ ... ]
