I currently have a cable modem (Road Runner by time warner) which uses a dhcp client login script to open the gateway (don't know the jargon) to the internet. I get the same ip lease and the same subnet mask, gatway, dns, etc... everytime I log in. The problem is I need to put the dhcp and dhcp client script (which I have) into the bootdisk. so then I can install BSD from the internet (ftp site). Can you point me in a direction to get me started? The alternative is to download allt he 2.2.7 files and istall, but I was trying to (1) avoid putting any fat partitions on this new machine, and (2) Ihave to install 3 machines with bsd. Thus download files and installing from them on machines without ANY OS already in place may prove to be MORE of a pain in the ass. Any help would be great! I will keep trying the irc channels and ready FAQS. Matthew Sundling A dedicated BSD fan and promoter.
