I burned 5.1 iso's, and installed most of it successfully. How do I bootstrap the network. I saw Bill Paul's references to testing a patch prior to committing it. Is this something I can apply singly to the source that comes on the ISO (and if so, just where do I grab it?), and then build a kernel, reboot, and update the rest of the source? thanks hawk, anxious to play with his new toy -- Richard E.
