I have been reading about and following FreeBSD for some years now but have never installed it. I figured I'd start small (with PicoBSD). I have managed to install PicoBSD into a box with an NE2000 card in it. I'm fairly sure I have the card configured correctly, but I have no idea how to set up an IP address or related details for the card. Is it recommended that I install FreeBSD 4 so that I can at least have a way to edit the PicoBSD configuration files on the floppy or is there some way to read the floppy from Windows? I have the 'the complete FreeBSD ' book by Greg Lehey, but it hasn't been much use to me in so far as setting up PicoBSD. I'm looking to set up a configuration that I can telnet to and dial my ISP and connect through the PicoBSD box with other machines to the internet. Any suggestions warmly appreciated. Please CC me when replying as I am not subscribed to the list (I only read the archives every couple of days).
