pppoeconf was not included in basedebs.tar when it was first built
(probably 6 weeks ago now). It's been included for a long time,
so your cd must not be as up to date as it's advertised to be.
You could download basedebs.tar, copy it to your hard disk and point the
installer there to install the base.

It hasn't been abandoned, the other CDs each have a flavor in the old
configuration.

Not gonna catch that hot potato. Except to say that idepci (not 2.4) is
booted on the current CD #1 if you don't pick an image.
