pppoe is not included in the installation kernels. You have a few

choices, in order of preference:
1. set up your DSL modem as a router and complete the installation.

Then you can configure pppoe and set the modem to bridge mode.
2. download installation sets to a different machine, setup a web or

ftp server and install over the local network.
3. if you have a spare disk, on your PC, place the sets there,

formatted as a FAT filesystem, then install from the disk.
