Hi, In the Handbook section ``Using PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)'' the user is told that they need to recompile the kernel with netgraph support. I'm not sure if it is supposed to be obvious or not, but as a new user to FreeBSD, I compiled my kernel and didn't realize I could just load the netgraph module. Perhaps a note can be made... I waited through a kernel compile on a 486/25 just to find out that there wasn't enough disk space to complete... After spending hours trying to clean up space, I figured out that I could just install the netgraph module. I didn't read the Handbook front to back, so there might be information that I skipped that would have lead me to this conclusion sooner, if so, please let me know where it is for future reference. Thanks, -Steven To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
