When selecting ADSL network option it will display error that it could not connect to network. An error is printed in the logs console that /sbin/pppd is missing.

6.1 netinstall iso x86_64 (but maybe others are similar, haven't checked)

Is this bug still valid in Mageia 7? Cauldron?

I haven't actually tested but looking at the all.rdz in Cauldron netinstall iso:

I still don't see pppd there (or anywhere else) so unless this ADSL option is gone by now or was changed to not need pppd I think it still has the same issue in both 7 and Cauldron.

Sorry, checked wrong file. It's missing from stage2/mdkinst.sqfs and still seems to be missing in cauldron while files in libDrakx seem to reference sbin/ppp* stuff so the conclusion is the same: I think issue is still valid.
