[Rule-list] no ppp support in install kernel?

[Raymundo Baquirin]

Hi, all,

I got the Red Hat 7.2 CDs but no cdrom drive usable with the Fujitsu Point 
510 that I'm installing on.  I wanted to try a network install over the 
serial null modem cable that I use to connect the laptop to my desktop 
machine.  But there's no pppd binary or /etc/ppp/* files in the install file 
system.

I tried extracting the pppd binary from the ppp-2.4.1-2.i386.rpm on the Red 
Hat CDs, copying it to the laptop and running pppd from the busybox prompt 
(after creating /etc/ppp/options) but I get the message "pppd file not 
found". I take it there is no support for ppp in the install kernel?

Ah well, I still have the option of doing a hard-drive-based install...

TIA,

Ray
