Im a subscriber to the AT&T@Home (cablemodem) service. I have read the cablemodem howto, as well as www.freebsddiary.org/athome.html and have not been able to figure out how to install he dhclient that runs in the Install program. When i install I am using the menue choices option. Is there an option to go from there to a CLI. If there is: #1 how/where do i find it #2 can i change the dhclient.conf to have: send hostname "" #3 If not, how can i do a network install (purchasing the CD is unfortunately not an option for us broke college kids, and i dont have a CD-r) Thanks Erich Heine To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
