connecting
Hello,
I just installed linux and I dont know how to connect to my ISP. If you could help that would be wonderful.
ps- the reason I need to connect is to get the packages because I have nothing on there except dselect...
HELP!!

Accually the ISP hookup howto is the easiest to use its at:

And everything you need to know about linux is at:

You are going to need the ppp package to get it going, unless you have a shell account with your isp, then you just need a terminal program(I recomend minicom). See the serial howto at linuxhq for more info.

Personally, I use DIP to do my networking (works with SL/IP, or PPP)... However, it can be a pain to get running...
