O I have been seen that. the difference between my First try with REDHAT
a few years back, 10 or so, And the the Mandrake they have made Great
progress. But climbing up on my Old Soap Box, "STILL not ready for the
Big Time"  :-)

-> There should be a tool for that, but since I don't use desktop environments on

-> KDE as the graphical environment).
 
I did select KDE, And I found out that it was KPPP that apparently does
the Job. But KPPP is nowhere to be found through the Desktop. 
My heart is really not into Installing LINUX. I just wanted to see what
al lthe Hype" was all about. 
The local group has what they call a "OInstall Fest" occasionaly o na
saturday. But I am in NO mood to unhook everything and haul it
down there to have someone Dazzle me by installing it.
