If I were you I'd REALLY try and get a copy of the FreeBSD CDs. It'll save you from so much hassle if you want to download more stuff later on (and you will want to download more stuff!). Are you in the UK? If so http://www.dgc-nms.co.uk stock FreeBSD, and I'm sure they'd accept a cheque. Any other questions, just drop me a line. --- Andrew Boothman FreeBSD UK User Group http://ukug.uk.FreeBSD.org/~andrew/ http://ukug.uk.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
