OK - I will work on these this evening. For the present, there will be no
SLIP/PPP set-up in the installation floppies - I agree that this is desirable,
it simply hasn't been done due to my time limitations and also disk space
limitations. For now, you have to install the appropriate packages to set up
SLIP and/or PPP.
