    I have followed the instructions at
    http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-fedora.phtml

    I get a 'kernel does not support mppe' message. I am confused: all the
    rpms in steps b+ install without complaint. I use rpm -iv and it looks
    like a clean install. But obviously something is wrong.

    I have the source for my kernel /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl/kernel
    and I have gcc and cpp 3.2.2 so I skipped the instructions in 1a thinking
    I was up to date.

    Something is wrong though:

    The instructions say kernel-source-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl.i386.rpm - which is
    not the source for my kernel - so I think probably the docs aren't quite
    up to date? Shouldn't I be using the source for my kernel?

    Also I had to use modprobe ppp_mppe. The instructions say modprobe
    ppp-compress-18, but that didn't work for me even though my modules.conf
    sets alias ppp-compress-18 mppe.

    I have rebooted. I am running pptpconfig as root.

    The mppe kernel does not show up on my grub menu, though. Should it?
