-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- My installation was fun. I had Win95 because I needed it for the cable modem installation (they won't install if you're running anything else, and they won't let you install it yourself). After it was installed, I downloaded the boot disk image and tried a network install. I though, "This will be really cool." Well, it would have. It turns out that cable modems don't enable the connection unless a DHCP request has been made, so just configuring my network interface with the currently assigned IP address didn't work. I ended up having to borrow the CD from a friend, and it kept failing partway through. (I don't know if it was bad sectors on the HD or a spotty CD-ROM drive.) But it works now, and I'm very happy. - -crism - -- A Microsoft-free household. <URL:http://www.shore.net/%7Ecrism/>; -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: For my public key, finger crism@crism.ne.mediaone.net. iQB1AwUBNRF3SnSaAdkmYoAJAQGBWAL/TVgV1H/0EuIFji2/vOUVPhRQG7KbmwT3 bJVdtJKMb7AbHmeoSQa5XnumVGddd8So0/8YcKuZrGnCiqnjAtU9YB1WbsXLrMwl DZ8Cl/37PtjmxYcfy5kiYBURP3D4F47H =6iEA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
