I was rather impressed with the speed (I run RH 5.2 on another box) and found everything to go smoothly after I realized the kernel source I had was incorrect for my distribution. I suggest you install the kernel source src/ssys* because you will need to compile (BPF Berkely Packet Filter) into your kernel. Once that is done reboot and start the dhcp client (dhclient). For roadrunner I had to compile the rrlogin.c program which went with out a hitch. -- Larry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
