Does this mean, for example, ppp connection ? I prefer to update the sources by downloading new one, because I can get sources in any freebsd ftp site with other machines, and I am not so familier with ppp that it will take long hour for setup. >> How can I do that under this situation (using only PCMCIA 3C589C >> ( original kernel does not support this )). > >Can you download the sources to floppies on another machine and load >them that way? Yes! If you can point me out which source is mandatory for this kernel building, I can update my sources. Thanks. ---- Koji Baba (ko-baba@kdd.co.jp)
