Basically, that is what I do. I only have a regular old phone modem at home. I take my home machine in to the office where I have a reliable 100 Mb/s and do my installs there. The only problem is fixing up IPs and host names. If I ever get rich and get a laptop with significant disk, I can just carry that and pull everything down to it and take it home to work on the desktop machine - or I could get one of those nice big USB drives and download everything to that. ////jerry > > Thanks! =) > > frzburn > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
