In-Reply-To: <199711230622.BAA03374@doorstop.wit.edu> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I doubt it. You have to tell fbsd what address it is when you do the install and you won't know what it is or should be when you boot. Buy the CD-ROMS and install the isc-dhcp client -- your life will be simpler. Or download to a M$ partition and install from there. -- Jay On Sun, 23 Nov 1997 pregman1@wit.edu wrote: > Hi, I'd just like to quickly ask if anyone knows whether or not it's > possible to perform a net install if my machine is on a DHCP-based > ethernet network.
