I can boot and run Mint Debian 64 liveUSB..My only problem I have so far is that I don't know how to set up my UBS ADSL modem..It can only connect via USB..

I use Alcatel Thomson SpeedTouch 330 USB

I read there is a program called USB ADSL Modem Manager for Ubuntu..but I was not able to find it officially on the internet. https://launchpad.net/usb-adsl-modem-manager

and there is page explain how to set up my modem but again I couldn't find the batches written on that page on ubuntu official batch page.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Us...dem/SpeedTouch ( but it is a bit old)

should I install this program or now it comes with ubuntu?

And when I write lsusb on " the monitor" I get this

mint@mint ~ $ lsusb

Mint Debian is kind of off topic here, accroding to the FAQ. – mikewhatever Nov 11 '12 at 3:19
