System: NetBSD fish-dances.eterna.com.au 1.4Y NetBSD 1.4Y (_fish_) #24: Tue May 23 10:37:17 EST 2000 mrg@fish-dances.eterna.com.au:/var/_fish_ i386


>Description:

	the netbsd/i386 install kernel contains both the slip and ppp drivers,
	but the pppd binary is not present.  this means that dial-up options
	are limited to slip, and ppp is not an option (even though it is
	currently wasted space in the kernel).

	this is non-optimal.

>How-To-Repeat:

	attempt to load NetBSD with just a couple of floppies and a modem.
	fail badly.

>Fix:

	i'd suggest adding pppd to the install floppies.  you could remove
	sl driver and slattach, but i don't care either way.  below is a
	patch that does this, but i was unable to make the entirety of
	src/distrib/i386 build with this change, so i pass it on.
