like i said, i doubt this would work because the libc on the ramdisk
is reduced, its not full libc.  not even hfsutils will run off of it
among other things.

dpkg -L pppoe
dpkg -s pppoe | gpep ^Depends

you need everything not in /usr/share/doc for every package it depends
on.  and probably a real libc.  will that fit on the root disk? no.
