Someone please tell me the above statement is NOT true. I uninstalled Redhat v5.1, kernel updated to 2.0.36 which had PPP support. I wouldn't see any reason why the Mandrake edition(s) @ v2.0.36 wouldn't have PPP support. Guess I better check my installation to confirm or debuke the existence of PPP support in Mandrake 5.3 kernel version 2.0.36

I would almost guarantee the answer to this question would be yes, the boot disk has to be upgraded also.
