Tell us where you went wrong before. :)
After `apt-get install ppp', the system requires inserting a CD-ROM. It does not accept the USB stick. The problem is reported here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745381 for Wheezy, but I find it even with Jessie. I think it's important because an usb stick is much practical than a CD-ROM or a DVD, so it would be important to have the possibility of installing Debian with such a device doing without CD-ROMs and DVDs.
