I am trying to create a simple setup to allow a person to put a floppy

modem (only needs to support one piece of hardware) and allow a remote
windows client to make a ppp connection in and access the local network.
This seems like a very simple thing and I'd think there would already be
several images out there to do this. However I'm coming up completely
blank. According to google, there are some howtos but they have a
number of gaps in them (they mostly refer to receiving faxes) and were
written for RedHat 5.2 and things. The info is still valid, but I'm
having a hard time putting it all together. Does anyone know of an
existing floppy distro that can do this, or have any of you had
experience setting this up?
Any help would be appreciated.
I would remaster Knoppix. It is surprisingly easy and a lot of people
do it. I successfully removed all of the GUI software from Knoppix,
installed my own software, and created a 120 MB CD that boots to my
software.

Even if you want a smaller CD, this is probably the best way to get
started because you'll learn the basics before diving into optimization.
