probably your best bet is to boot off the livecd as if you were doing a manual install, setup networking (assuming it doesn't auto-detect) following the instructions here, then chroot into your install (again follow the instructions in the guide and you shouldn't have too much trouble) then emerge the required packages

This is the only way if you don't have any "other" computer or partition (Windows) running Internet. If you have one, the following should be quicker :

- Do the "emerge rp-pppoe" command
- Look out the filename that the program try to reach and note it
- Switch to your computer/partition with Internet set up
- Find that file on a Gentoo mirror (typing the filename into quotes in AltaVista would work easily)

- Return to your Gentoo (Yay !) and copy this file (using a USB stick or a CD) into

However, the chrooting thing would work too, just longer to me

Thanks for that great reply.i tried as what you quoted,everything is fine even chrooted gentoo shows ifconfig ppp0 interface.but no internet yet!.see..

hmm..

odd, if knoppix is up & running with access to the internaweb it should just carry straight thru to the chroot..

I use a router, so I automatically bypass these kinda issues..

I take it you're using an ADSL modem? hence needing rp-pppoe? if so do you connect thru dhcp? and shouldn't you need to give it some info about your ISP?

take a look at this section of the handbook and see if you can see what needs to be done, as I've never had to configure that kinda card before, it's much easier with a router, you just bring up the eth0 with dhcp and it all works fine..

also, according to that page in the handbook rp-pppoe is provided on the livecd, so it *should* be in distfiles, if the installer copies them onto your system like you do in the manual install (again, I've never used the gui i'm afraid, its much better to do it hardcore) then you should just be able to

another thought:

as you're running knoppix, I take it you're chrooted inside a konsole? in which case you can follow jeanfrancis's advice and run emerge rp-pppoe, then grab any files it doesn't have with konqueror and copy them into /usr/portage/distfiles on your gentoo install then emerge away..

might be quicker and less painfull

ok, have you added your dns server to /etc/resolv.conf?

net-tools sounds like a gentoo wrapper package (containing lots of little files) sys-apps/net-tools-1.60-r12 i guess, what does portage want when you try to emerge it? it should give you urls..
