ok, I am planning on asking if users want to bring up the interface after 
they 
have configured it. (currently works great for ethernet)
So for pppoe I should just run adsl-start.
next silly question, where does adsl-setup store its data ? the installer 
will 
run it native to its rootfs so it can control the connections without 
chrroting, and then copy the configs etc over to the new system. 

Lastly should your adsl script be the default initscript for rp-pppoe ?
