base2_2.tgz. It's not a small file so floppies aren't a good choice
of transport medium. Also, to get ppp to work you need chat and pppd
(and maybe other stuff they depend on) so you kinda need that base
system first. Can you get ethernet on that machine? Can you burn a
CD? Can you temporarily move the hd to a different machine with a
better connection (ie ethernet)?
