Hi,

I've solved the thing for me.
I got help by Jacco de Leeuw's informations (http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/linux-l2tp.html) and made an installation script. I've tested it under 9.10 Karmic and it is working fine. Here you can download my script:

After starting the script You simply must enter the VPN server's TCPIP address, the Preshared Key, the VPN user and password. Then, if needed, Openswan and xl2tp are installed. Furthermore three Desktop Icons will be created, one for "Connect", one for "Disconnect" and one for "Kill VPN". Sometimes the last von must be hit before hitting "Connect". I could not do it better because it is my first work in Linux/bash programming.

Ok, good luck with it.
