I'm talking about client end ppp. Although, down the road when I get
broadband, if I can get it, I might want to serve one dial-in line for
myself to use on the road, so I can drop my current dialup if it's not
already included in the deal with such a connection. Apparently it's not
like the debian linuxconf, but maybe similar.
Does kickstarting work pretty good, is it a good idea on a laptop where I
must boot from CD, can I have kickstart on it's existing dos partition?
