Thanks Adam,
I had read that.
apt-get install pptpconfig...requires php-gtk-pcntl
apt-get install php-gtk-pcntl...requires libglib1.2
apt-get install libglib1.2.......package libglib1.2 has no installation
candidate
Reading it again encouraged me to try the stuff at the bottom on editing
the config files by hand. This didn't work (could well be my error). So
I dug out an in house script which does work. I haven't used debian for
long so am not particularly familiar with the organisation of the
network setup scripts.
AFAIK, my original point still stands. There is, as yet no way of doing
this in lenny with a GUI tool.
thanks
Will
