Thanks If I understand you right you want to want to use your linux system to mount the CD and install via ftp from that CD to the other machine? Do you have an anonymous ftp account on the linux machine? If that's the case you can mount the CD into ~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE and the install script will find the distribution there. If you want to install via ftp as an arbitrary user there is an option to specify that username/password in the configuartion/install menu once you have booted the install disk. > > Tim Stoddard > --Chris Christoph P.
