Bug Description

Most Internet users in Russia and specifically over 80% of internet users in Moscow and St.Petersburg connect to the Internet via PPTP VPN connection (for example, users of largest Moscow providers Corbina Telecom and NetByNet Holding). Since the package network-manager-pptp, which allows PPTP connection configuration, is not included in the default installation, they need to connect the Internet under Windows or other operating system, download the package, resolve the dependencies manually and install it under Linux. This makes it vertually impossible for an average Internet user to switch to Linux after using Windows on home PC.

So please include network-manager-pptp on the first CD and in the default install.
