Missing the point is not helpful for the discussion. I've done recent FreeBSD installs over 14.4k modems. The trick is to do a network install over ppp. If one needs to do multiple local installs, then bootstrapping one box this way is best, then slowly pull things over cvsup(1), and build one release locally. Less error- prone to do things this way. -- Juli Mallett | FreeBSD: The Power To Serve Will break world for fulltime employment. | finger jmallett@FreeBSD.org http://people.FreeBSD.org/~jmallett/ | Support my FreeBSD hacking!
