I can't get it to work via ftp or floppy. My freebsd cdrom should be here in a day or two, but I'd like to know what I'm missing so far that the ftp install and floppy install aren't working. I'm sure it's a file or 2 that it can't find...but which files? You probably don't want to isntall that, it's the compiled programs and ports for FreeBSd. you're better of pulling them from your CDROM for from the ftp site. It's several megs :) > Secondly, where can I change my dns server? I set it up at the very beginning, and I'd like to change it, since none of the DNS lookups seem to work with the current one. > > Thanks again. > > Chad Check /etc/resolv.conf Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@gladstone.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
