Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello I want to do FTP installation of FreeBSD when I have only these items: 1. One clean i386 computer box. 2. One external ADSL modem, connected to the box by ethernet and to the ADSL Service Provider (phone line). 3. One or more installation floppies. The modem can be configured to use PPPoE or PPTP protocol for making the connection with my Internet Servise Provider. Is such installation possibly with standard floppies? If it is not, will it be possibly with upcoming FreeBSD 5.x? Is there any unstandard (and then unofficial) floppies set that supports PPPoE for FTP installation? P.S. I found that NetBSD 1.6 have PPPoE support in the kernel and some people reported success with FTP installation through PPPoE. What about FreeBSD?
