As far as I know (and remember) you have the alternatives to the action you are up to perform: for exemple you might already want reboot the system before the start disk is created (you just don't wanna any boot disks). I think that you can skip the section 'make linux bootable from directly from the hard disk' which installs LILO. This is, however, no very intuitive. What I think could be more suitable instead of those alternatives is a skip option. The first time I installed my potato I actually didn't know I could've skipped the creation of bootdisks. I thought then an important part of the installation process was missing and to make sure I reinstalled it once again :)))
About the ppp I don't know much though. Happy to be connected to a wider local network with a DHCP server well configured.
