Adam Stanislav" Subject: Installing over ppp Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I am trying to install FreeBSD from your ftp site using ppp. After I connect to my isp with ppp and network connection is established, I press Alt-F1, then enter. My screen turns blue, with a large cursor at the left of the bottom line, and it just sits there. No data is trasmitted over the modem (the lights do not flash). After a few minutes I press ctl-alt-del, and it asks me whether I really want to abort. If I say no, it just keeps sitting there. I finally said yes, since I obviously do not know what else to do.
