Except if the window manager would be adequately configured for single stroke keybindings...   ;)

Perhaps you mean specifically a wired ethernet connection and only that?

A USB modem would probably have a wired connection, and possibly a PCI modem as well.

jerramy:
 :D  Hah!  You're probably right.  I made the assumption he didn't know how to open a terminal in -windows-, what are the chances he knows how to do it in Linux?

And yeah, my instructions were totally inadequate if it's a USB modem.

First sorry, I couldn't use the internet for 2 days, so I couldn't reply to your posts, but thank you for them.
I know, how to use a terminal in linux and in windows too...
And, I'll try Your answers when I'll be able to try it. (I think on Sunday)

"And yeah, my instructions were totally inadequate if it's a USB modem." No, its not an USB.

And I think one think is missing from jerramy's solution. Sorry, I forgot to say, I have got a username (something@invitel.hu) and a password. I can't connect without it. Where can I set it?

And thank you again for your help.

The instructions for setting up a network connection with ADSL can be found here.

You can download the pppd.tcz extension via ftp from:

ftp:// distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/3.x/tcz/
(Note: expect a long delay.)

Create the following nested folders on a USB key (assuming it's drive E:):

E:\tce\optional

and copy the pppd extension into the optional directory.

Boot Tinycore with the following option: tinycore waitusb=5

Then open appbrowser and select [local] to load the extension.

FWIW, I would strongly recommend buying a router and setting up your pppoe connection there. Connecting your computer directly to the modem is risky business.
