Details

Description:
I have tried twice, even if you select all four catogaries and all packages, you don't see ppp listed there. It's in the CD though. PPP is import package for one using adsl connection etc. Can only use chroot, or manually install it after reboot

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  This was due to packages.txt.

Unrelated to the cause of this bug: ppp will not appear in the listing anymore at all, since it is part of the base group, and base will always get installed from now on.

Anyone can confirm it? I mark it high because I suspect there are more packages like this missing.

I check it more than four times, Very weird problem. only if you select support first or alone, packages in support catogary can show in the list (which is eventually installed). If you select base -> devel->libs->supports (or select another than supports first) like most of people do, no luck.

So youre still having problems with it?

Yes, it's very confusing, you can check it out with your burned iso/cd easily.

Which ISO are you using?

Are you using the FTP method of installation?
Comment by 甘露(Lu Gan) (ganlu) - Tuesday, 17 June 2008, 23:06 GMT
No.

Confirmed. The ppp package is not shown on the package selection menu, and isn't installed afterwards, even if you did use the "select all" option.

I'll be rebuilding an ISO soon, so I will update this bug when I can.
