Quote from http://fedora.redhat.com/:
"The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to
build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from
free software"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^!!!
MSCHAPv2, as the names says, is M$ proprietary stuff.

running the ./kernelmod.sh will ask you if it should build an rpm for
you.
But I recommend not using pptp since it's not as secure as openvpn or
IPSec. In addition you'll need to patch your kernel/build a kernelmodule
and update the pppd I think. So OpenVPN or IPSec might be easier to
install, since they are available at Dag Wieers repo -> install via
yum...

IPSec is supported by Win 2000, XP and newer, openvpn is also available
as Win32 app.
