However, I wouldn't recommend it for a dialup connection unless you have lots of time. This isn't just an application -- and it's not MS-Windows -- so simply downloading files and running setup will not work. There are ISO images available with which you can effectively create your own installation CD. It has worked for others but I have not tried that technique. I strongly recommend checking out the FreeBSD documentation available at http:www.FreeBSD.org/ before you even think about beginning the installation. craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
