You can do this. You will need an FTP server for the machine with the CDrom; I'd recommend the NCSA telnet builtin FTP server. It's not great, but it does the job, and it's reasonably easy to set up. (I can send you working configs for it if you need them) > Will this bypass the hardware requirements of fbsd not liking the ide cddrive > because box 1 is running the cddrive? Well, yes because it won't have anything to do with the drive at all. I assume you're thinking that you can access the CD as a drive across the LAN; this is not possible. > I have ne2000 generic ethernet cards. will fbsd detect this ok?
