I have tried to install freebsd 2.1.5 via ftp (dynamic PPP) and when I am prompted to go into "term" mode via the ALT+F3 keystroke I get nothing. I type term and can only type ~p or ~. . How do I start the dialing sequnce? Also, I can't provide the installation program with an address for my ISP or DNS because it is all dynamic. I tried pinging DNS.MEM.NET (my provider) but it said bad address. So i tried NS.MEM.NET and got 206.155.209.32. Should I use that? What about the gateway? Last thing, If I just wanted to download all the software how would I do that? I can't find a "DOWNLOAD THIS DIRECTORY" type directory, It's all kinda broken up and I don't know where to start. sorry for the barrage of questions. -shawn
