I am having problems getting the system to install because we use dynamic IP addressing on all of our machines. The NT servers will lease an IP address to us for 1 to 2 weeks and then we are re-assigned an IP address. Is there a way that I can get this when installing FreeBSD using the FTP option (through a firewall)? If this is not possible then I would like to just install the app from my HD. I am using the install instructions that states to copy the directories to my C:\ drive and install from that DOS location. When I try to install I need to format my C:\ drive, but I have 2 SCSI hard drives and I would like to install to the second drive since it is much larger. If I do install to the C:\ drive will the flat FreeBSD directory be wiped out? Please lend some install instructions. There seems to be limited info on installing FreeBSD. I tried the Web page and searched the mail archives, but I could not find the info that I needed. Thanks in advance, Brian Matsik
