I can't figure out the ppp thing to install over the internet so I downloaded the bin.?? To floppies to install from floppy. It refuses to install from the floppy drive I put all bin.?? In the a:\bin\ directory that didn't work one of the prompts asked for \dist\bin\bin.aa so I put them (bin.??) in the a:\dist\bin\ directory that also didn't work... What am I doing wrong?
