Hi there. I tried installing 2.0.5 last night from msdos, but it didn't display the partition the binaries were on. I re-read the install guide and realized that 2.0.5 can't read an extended dos partition :( Please correct me if this is incorrect. So I tried something neater: install via FTP. Only trouble is I'm not sure of some of the parameters (the one's I tried didn't work). Here's a brief description of my situation. I call a phone number with my computer/modem which connects me to York's terminal servers. I think their IP address (I don't know if I'm using this term correctly) is yorku.ca. From here I normally do a rlogin to the host machine I work with at York. However the terminal server supports ppp and slip. So in trying to use ppp for the installation, i need to specify: 1. my host name (I think this is...what? anything.foo.ca ?) 2. my domain name (I think this would be 'ca'?) 3. Gateway (I don't know what this is: how do I find out?) 4. Domain name server (I think, it might be 10.2.0.78 ...how can I verify?) Sorry for the long-winded message. I just wanted to give you enough info to give you an idea of my situation. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks S. David Pullara
