Description Paul Lubetsky 2009-08-23 11:45:12 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090811 Gentoo Firefox/3.5.2

Some people have PPTP VPN as the only way to connect to internet. But NetworkManager`s VPN modules are currently not included on live media and base installation - so, they can`t configure it with NetworkManager.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Paul Lubetsky 2009-08-23 11:47:22 UTC

Additionally: it is possible to configure this type of connections via YaST, but there is currently no way to graphically control connection status. Qinternet is also a good candidate for inclusion.

hmm, it would be the first vpn thing on live cd. That use case seems to be a bit too special. But I put them on the DVD, they haven't been so far. So I make that fixed, even though you want to have it on the live media.

Comment 3 Paul Lubetsky 2009-08-26 09:44:00 UTC

It is not special at all: for example, I have PPTP connection for Internet, so has a big part of, at least, Eastern Europe. 
So: will it be put to base install and Live Media or not? They have a small size and their inclusion is completely not a problem with lzma compression.

Still not included in M8 LiveCD

Comment 5 Stephan Kulow 2009-09-18 19:30:08 UTC

I never said I would do that, I said I would add it to the DVD - read #2 closely. But we can try with it in the default install for m8. BTW, m8 is not yet released.

Comment 6 Paul Lubetsky 2009-09-19 08:12:03 UTC

M7, sorry for confusion.
Default installation? Ok. I think, that in light of the use of lzma disk space is not a problem (but absence of an easy way to connect to Internet for some users is a big problem).
