I picked the 'network' floppy.  As I noticed in the
specs page that it contained NATD.  I think I'll need
this to connect all my other machines at home through
one PPP connection to my provider.  The specs page
also doesn't list EE as being on this disk.  I also
have never used EE before.  I did a seach on the
searchable man pages on www.freebsd.org under
3.0-current and it didn't return any hints.  Where can
I find some info about using this editor.  I still
don't know how to apply IP details to my netcard
either.
Thanks.
