How to install Broadband ADSL/PPPoE Client (RP-PPPoE)

* Read #General Notes
* Read #How to install Basic Compilers (build-essential)

wget -c http://www.roaringpenguin.com/files/download/rp-pppoe-3.8.tar.gz
sudo tar zxvf rp-pppoe-3.8.tar.gz -C /opt/
sudo chown -R root:root /opt/rp-pppoe-3.8/
gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/RP-PPPoE.desktop

* Insert the following lines into the new file

[Desktop Entry]
Name=RP-PPPoE
Comment=RP-PPPoE
Exec=gksudo /opt/rp-pppoe-3.8/go-gui
Icon=pppoeconf.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;

* Save the edited file
* Applications -> Internet -> RP-PPPoE

The line that says "Exec=gksudo /opt/rp=pppoe-3.8/go-gui" needs to change to "sudo tkpppoe". The same goes for the Dapper guide. This is the proper executable and it's much faster to load (may piss less DSL users off).

I have tried both "Exec=gksudo /opt/rp=pppoe-3.8/go-gui" and "Exec=sudo tkpppoe", rp-pppoe doesn't work with either??
