I got the CDs for 8.0 PPC today, and tried installing it. I had quite a few 
problems, so I'll go through them in order of importance, one email each.

I installed most of the Workstation packages, but only GNOME, because I 
don't use KDE. (No reason, just I started with GNOME and thus far have had 
no reason to change.)

First one: PPP doesn't work.

I've got a '99 iMac DV SE, which has a built-in modem, and thus shouldn't 
cause problems.

pppd won't run because the kernel doesn't have ppp support (according to 
the error message I got by running it in a terminal).

modprobe ppp revealed that the kernel doesn't have ppp support because 
there's an unresolved symbol in ppp-generic.o, so it doesn't get loaded.

Any ideas as to how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
