Chances are that you'd have a much easier time doing an installation from CDRom. It'll also be faster, and if you order from cheap bytes (www.cheap-bytes.com, iirc), it'll be cheaper. It might be better to throw down the $$ for the walnut creek edition, which contains an installation manual. I'd imagine an installation over modem would be quite a tedious exercise in patience. -- Steve Farrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
