Cashdollar" To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: New FreeBSD installation. Message-ID: <19990730091045.C21671@biw.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.6us Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have just installed FreeBSD for the first time on a 486/dx 66 with 32m of ram and 680m of disk space. I am looking to install the kernel sources and other packages. I have to proxy through a linux box on my cable modem connection as I dont have dhcp setup for freebsd yet. What is the best way to get kernel source and packages from freebsd.org? Can I setup freebsd to use a TIS FTP proxy on my cable modem box? or should I transfer packages directly to the linux box and then transfer them to the freebsd box?
