I have a machine that runs Xandros 3 and it has a wizard that helps configure 
the network.

My Thinkpad is running Debian with KDE 3.3.1 and I see KDE utilities for 
configuring desktop and file sharing and Samba, but none for configuring 
network interfaces.  

Also, I was unable to use kppp because my pcmcia modem is on ttyS14 and kppp 
does not offer that as a modem.  I symlinked /dev/ttyS14 to /dev/modem but 
the link disappears on reboot.  I use the pon command and that works very 
well but I had a tough time getting the connection to actually work until I 
remembered that /etc/networks/interfaces did not list a ppp0 interface.
A configuration wizard would have enabled me to get things working sooner.
Once I remembered to add ppp0 to interfaces everything worked.

So, is there a wizard that I am not seeing?


thanks
