hi...
am using DVD 10.3 version.it contains most of the softwares and repositories. if u can have the dvd version from somewhere it would be easy as am not sure whether they(smpppd,wvdial,kinternet,wvstream) are added in live CD.i can give u a step by step procedure but u should also let me know what type of connection u r havin.is the modem type an ADSL one and u have connected it via an ethernet card? or is it an ADSL modem connected to the pc via usb cable?u also need to configure ur LAN card (if using ethernet connection) and then configure the DSL settings with the user name and password given to u by the ISP. be ready with ur DNS addresses, IP address and Modem route.

if u r from India then try to get a copy of Linux For You, they have also distributed the openSuse 11.0 DVD version free(July or Aug Issue am not sure). The magazine will cost u 100Rs.

Hi

The first thing you must learn is that you install things through Yast. The second thing is you don't install kinternet, smpppd by yourself because for some reason Yast doesn't configure them well.
The trick is that you go to yast->network->dsl here you set up a pppoe. When you're finished Yast realises that you need Kinternet, and smpppd and it's gonna install them automatically
When that is done you check your system tray. There should be a gray icon for kinternet. If it's not there click the button that's similar to the window's "Start" menu. In the search start typing kinternet. It'll show up in the results click it and it'll load
