rp-pppoe is available in entropy, you can install it and then use it.
Run as root:

Code: Select all

equo install --ask rp-pppoe


to install it.

If you do not have internet connection, you should download it
from:
http://www.sabayonlinux.org/packages

and install it locally:

Code: Select all

equo install --ask '/complete/path/to/the/package'


notice the ' before and after the end of the path.

[EDIT] In this case you should also check the dependencies, for example it depends on
dev-lang/tk, so you should download it too and install it at the same time:

Code: Select all

equo install --ask '/complete/path/to/rp-pppoe' '/complete/path/to/tk'

Thank you Micia. I one other question, is it possible to use live dvd installer to do such things? I found downloading all dependency not so straight and laborious.

[micia]

I think you cannot, every package manager in Linux relies heavily on networking, without it
it is really a pain to manage installations, it would be really a good idea to include an option in the
package download section of the Sabayon homepage that allows to download rapidly the package
with every dependency.

You could suggest it in this section of the forum:
http://forum.sabayonlinux.org/viewforum.php?f=18
(as well as your idea about the installer improvement)

by the way, if you solved your problem, remember to mark this thread as solved appending
[Solved] to your first post subject.

Enjoy your pppoe connection

I still figure out how can I connect to internet. Perhaps by bringing my laptop to a wireless connection somewhere and installing rp-pppoe. I'll suggest an additional option for installer. Thanks again Micia.

Hi, could you please tell me how can I establish internet connection in Sabayon 5 by pppoe. I use Debian/Ubuntu about year and setup my network with pppoeconf comand. Is there something like pppoeconf on Sabayon 5 kde cd? Network manager does not work in my case.

You should install rp-pppoe:

Code: Select all

equo install rp-pppoe


Open up a console as root and execute:

Code: Select all

pppoe-setup


configure your pppoe connection.

After that run, always as root:

Code: Select all

pppoe-start


if your connection gives some kind of problem try adding ppp0 (the new connection) to
the default route, as root:

Code: Select all

route add default dev ppp0

You should install rp-pppoe:
equo install rp-pppoe

Thanks, but I have no internet connection, to do it. Or you mean to download package and install it locally, but how much dependencies I have to download and install with it?

[micia]

It depends on your system, if you have no internet connections you should download
and install it locally as described above.
You should most likely download:

Code: Select all

rp-pppoe
tk
tcl
fontconfig
