193793 2003-11-22 01:40:00 Have installed Mandrake 9.2 and find that the dial up Icon for KPPP has not been installed
No dialup conection to internet ISPO
Modem rings after Wizard configuration
Should have KPPP on task bar to dialup
Read all the RPMs on 3 CDs but could not find KPPP for install
Any help to find KPPP

193794 2003-11-22 02:12:00 type "whereis kppp" without quotes in a terminal to see if its on the hdd. mark.p (383)
193795 2003-11-22 02:15:00 A thing to remember is the linux CLI is case sensitive too. mark.p (383)
193796 2003-11-22 02:24:00 It should be there ... but whereis might not work. Like [/b]locate[/b] and apropos it needs a database. Oops .. whereis might be like which, and just look in the PATH.

Anyway, in a terminal, domakewhatis &
updatedb & and these will make the databases.

However, what you need is the configuration of kppp, so why not go through the Kontrol centre? The Network rea should get you there. There might be problems with permissions for non-root use (and don't be tempted to go in the Internet while being root ... ;-)). I think we've had this so a search for "KPPP" in the PressF1 search button (top of page) will help.
