I picked the 'network' floppy. As I noticed in the specs page that it contained NATD. I think I'll need this to connect all my other machines at home through one PPP connection to my provider. The specs page also doesn't list EE as being on this disk. I also have never used EE before. I did a seach on the searchable man pages on www.freebsd.org under 3.0-current and it didn't return any hints. Where can I find some info about using this editor. I still don't know how to apply IP details to my netcard either. Thanks. --- Doug White <dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu> wrote: > On Mon, 31 Jul 2000, [iso-8859-1] Paul Jansen wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I've been looking at PicoBSD and was hoping to set > it > > up on a low-spec box I have here as a Firewall NAT > > solution.
