I, as lots of other users, connect to the Internet via VPN-connection with my ISP. For this proposes I use pptp-client, which is not present at any of three installation CD's. The problem is, that if I have a new PC (or clean HDD) and all FreeBSD installation CD's, I can't get access to the Internet to start fully working with the system. As far I know, pptp-linux is coming with all popular Linux distributives, so it's really sad to see, that there is no 230 Kb of free space for such useful BSD-Licensed program, and I have to download it separately, using another system. So, please, maybe it's possible to include pptp-linux into the first istallation CD? Anyway, thanks for your work!
