Yes, but I will put in a warning about the incredible SLOWNESS of this
procedure. A basic ppp is installed with the current bo disks - just
do the disk-based install to the point where you've set the root
password, etc., and are about to be dumped into dselect. Then switch
to another console (alt-F2), log in as root, and get your ppp setup
working - often, this is just a matter of editing /etc/ppp.chatscript
to suit your ISP and typing 'pon'. (You may need to edit
/etc/ppp.options_out as well)
