Speaking of dummies, ;) I tried the customizing instructions after
running pppsetup (so the config info would be saved) and I kept
getting an error message when entering:
mount /dev/hd00 /hd (my C: drive is the first HD)
Needless to say I was unable to save my changes. I tried as many
variations as I could think of, but I got error messages that linux
was unable to find "/dev/hd?? /hd" or whatever other variation I
tried. What gives?

Well, I think you are well on your way to this goal as I am enjoying
your Baslinux very much.
