You'll have to put the ppp package onto a floppy. Make sure when you do the install that you load the vfat filesystem module. Then in win95 you can get the debian ppp package (use www.debian.org) and put the package on the floppy. You can then mount the disk and install ppp directly using 'dpkg --install <package filename>'. Then start it up. A simple command line should do the trick. Then start up dselect and go through the Access method option to configure it to ftp to your box on the other end of the link. If you need any other details you can email me. -- Jens B.
