In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG A FreeBSD install over DSL is setup just like a regular network based install over FTP. The FreeBSD handbook (http://freebsd.org/handbook) will give you the information on doing FTP installs and possible FTP mirror sites. All you need to know if your IP address, subnet mask, default gateway/router and the DNS servers. The installer might be able to use DHCP to get the information if you have a dynamic IP address. Also, make sure that your network card is compatible with FreeBSD. Again, check the handbook for that information. // Linh Pham // // Proud supporter of FreeBSD and OpenBSD // FreeBSD - http://www.freebsd.org // OpenBSD - http://www.openbsd.org /* "Oregon, n.: Eighty billion gallons of water with no place to go on Saturday night." */ On Mon, 24 Jul 2000 dgason@mindspring.com wrote: > > Hi there, > > I have a new DSL connection from Mindspring.
