The one saving grace of the uni network in Australia. It mirrors everything important, and a bunch of Windows stuff. I've yet to try an earlier solution, and I only get to uni once a day. Oh well, I'll be out there bright and early tomorrow. :) > Since you don't have experience with FreeBSD, I'd suggest you don"t > install -current, though. :-) In the main menu of the installation > program, go to "options" and enter 3.4-RELEASE in the field for the > release to install. Well, my plan is to start playing with ports soonishly. I come from a background of Linux, mostly Debian. I'm looking at possible options for a gateway - it currently runs Debian, but it's limiting throughput to ~3.3k/s. I think it's the hardware though, so the poor old 386 might have to get thrown into a corner. Any ideas on that? (Yes, the 386 uses 16550A UARTs.) > If the download per proxy doesn't work, please let me know. Will do. =] Thanks for the responses, everyone, by the way. Walls have ears around here. -- damian PS. Sorry if I'm going a little OT now. I might post to freebsd-newbies later, if I can't find a specific question.
