If you've netbooted a machine, then you must have another machine on the local network, so it would be unlikely that you'd need to use the installed system directly with a modem to get out to the internet. More likely your tftp server is also a router, or something, no? Also, a user who wants to install with a bare ppp connection seems more likely to want to download some kind of CD image than a netboot thing. > [1] BTW, can you check if it has been removed from images which do not > also have ppp-udeb please?
