Your explanation was full and understandable, apart from the lack of
clarity about booting into the new system before using aptitude. A "yes"
or "no" was all that was required in answer to my query.
1. Insert the USB stick carrying the netinst image and look at the
output of dmesg. It will have something like 'sdg: sdg1' sdg1 is the
partition which holds the image.
2. Next is the command
mount /dev/sdg1 /mnt
followed by
ls -l /mnt
3. Your attention should focus on the pool directory.
4. 'ls -l /mnt/pool' and 'ls -l /mnt/pool/main' gets you exploring.
5. After checking, install the ppp package with
dpkg -i /mnt/pool/main/p/ppp/ppp_2.4.5-5.1+b1_i386.deb
6. Carefully read the screen and curse me for leaving you to work out
the last bit of the puzzle for yourself.
