You won't be able to install it over the cable modem, but you can download the files to a dos partition over the modem, and install that way. Instructions for that are with the distribution you want to download. The thing will run on your system if the ethernet card is supported, which it most likely is. You will need a dhcp client, there is one in ports, and one at www.isc.org. Try reading the stuff on www.freebsd.org, especially searching the mail archives for more details. :) Good luck, Doug Do thou amend they face, and I'll amend my life. -Shakespeare, "Henry V"
