[pptp-server] special considerations

[Yan Seiner]

AH! the failed hunks are easy.  I bet you downloaded using a windows
version of Netscape.  NS converts unix end-of-line to ms end-of-line 
automatically on download.  When you try to patch using this file, it
will fail.

You need to download using a linux version of NS or lynx or some linux
based browser, or run the downloaded file through dos2unix.

Can we please put this in the FAQ?

Thanks,
