S.KOREA > e-mail: jypark@comsun.chungnam.ac.kr That's what I meant, I guess. But the directory structure has to be setup the same way, which means it would be a slight pain to do so with a CD-ROM. Lets see.... so, if you mounted your CD-ROM on: /pub/FreeBSD/2.2.1-RELEASE/ , and just set the site to download frmo to the IP address of your AIX machine (AIX <shudder>; I'm admin of one of them beasts), without any pathname after it, then... That should/might work. I'd try the NFS install, but that might require another FreeBSD machine on the other end. Dunno; I do floppy (!) installs. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* |FreeBSD is good. FreeBSD is our friend. UNIX is our god.| *Micro$oft is bad.
