Slip and pppd or as its some times called kernel ppp has been removed from the base system because they have become obsolete. The sysinstall menus and text questions need to be changed to reflect this. The main menu - fixit option says floppy. Floppy should be replaced with USB flash drive like this, "Repair mode CD/DVD/USB Flash Drive or start schell" And this text question, User Confirmation Requested Would you like to configure any Ethernet or SLIP/PPP network devices?
