I think even I know how to figure that out cause I dealt with that on another box when installing a CDRW, but it won't be for a while. Then again I have no immediate need for the CDROM device either as I'll be installing Apache via PPP, just like how I installed the OS. My thought is to get Apache up and running, then go into the box and install a NIC two connect my BSD box to my two W95 boxes, so that'll be when I look at the ide cabling. And who knows, maybe by then I'll find a better old PC at a yard sale. :) >As for the floppy, you may find this helpful: > >http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/bsd/2000/07/05/FreeBSD_Basics.html Yes, thanks. This looks to be just what I needed to know to install Apache via the port. >There's an article in there as well if you need help setting up PPP. That's the other thing :-/ Funny how I had PPP working for me last week when doing the install, now can't figure it out. Nothing like taking copious notes, eh?
