I saw that a few days ago some pppoe documentation was added. Unfortunately, it is really weird and, IMHO, wrong. The hack proposed in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/pppoe.html is quite obsolete with gentoo 1.4_rc1 livecd because rp-pppoe IS built-in. It would have made sense with the gentoo 1.2 isos that did not have it (but it would have been easier then to use one of the isos I patched adding rp-pppoe...) but it does not with the gentoo 1.4_rc1. Moreover some points are very weird : I read that PPP over Ethernet option must be checked : it is wrong... It won't harm but will be totally useless... unless rp-pppoe is built with a specific configuration option that will allow it to do kernel mode pppoe. The standard (as with emerge) don't, and won't make use of this module. So I do propose some updated documentation, just editing build.xml. I added specific pppoe instructions. Btw : changed a _ to - for my name removed a very old mention of a gentoo 1.1 stage 3 tarball concerning kernel sources... No kernel sources are included in stage 3 tarball. And that is about all. I would suggest, sorry ZhEN, to get rid of the pppoe.html you wrote. Please find attached two files : the modified build.xml and the diff from the current 1.72 version to this one.

No problem ;-) I was just reading this off of the buglist, so I had no idea whether it was wrong or not. I will remove the seperate pppoe guide and add your fixes ;-) Thanks again, //ZhEN
I have added the new build... //ZhEN
