   I would like to know if anyone got the 2.0.5-ALPHA to install 
   over PPP, floppies, or DOS partitions.  I'm wondering if there is a conflict
   with the new install and my hardware.  I had 2.0R working, so I know that 
   this hardware SHOULD work with the new kernel.

I have seen PPP install work, but that was on an earlier version of
the boot floppies (about a week ago), and I believe that the code may
have been broken since then. The latest UPDATES version of the
floppies should work for PPP. I've just done an install off DOS
partition, and I intend to test install off floppies RSN.
