As I don't have a fixed IP address, I started the installation using DHCP. But the installation does not proceed after that. There is a message "Scanning for DHCP servers" and installion is stalled there. It is NOT that there are no DHCP servers available. When I boot my system in win95, I do get the IP address and other information. (I managed to install using a fixed IP address; Also there are no incompatibility issue between the server and the client as the system is currently up with an IP address from the DHCP server) >How-To-Repeat: Start the installation of 4.1 through FTP method using DHCP. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
