[-- Attachment #1 --] I am trying to install FreeBSD over a PPP connection. I have a Micron 150 32meg 1.6gig ide. Using the novice install I am choosing all the defaults for disk. I let it create the file systems and the swap partition. I am using a hayes 288 external modem to connect. I type term atdt*70,2168000 show route (to make sure that I can see my DNS server) I get connected and get my ip and then toggle to the other tty port. I hit enter and the install begins. It creates the file systems and starts to download the software. Everything looks great, then at about 200000k I loose connection to my ISP. This is consistant. I tried it six times. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have searched the knowledge base and have come up empty Please help me!
