Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi there! I have downloaded and constructed a FREEBSD disk maker, made a disk and started to install FREEBSD on one of my machines. I get all the way through the installation, but when it comes to accessing the freebsd.org FTP site, it cannot conenct - it seems to hang up when adding default route. Does FREEBSD need rights to program a CISCO router? We don't have access to our router, as it is property of UUNET PIPEX. I have also tried to download the freebsd 2.2.5 release section of your ftp site and made a local ftp server here using WARFTP and tried to access like that. This works fine, apart from it can't seem to see some of the directory structure! Could you tell me how I should construct the dir's and where I should have files located please. Could you also tell me how much disk space I would need. Your answers are much appreciated. Congratulations on such a great project - I have been looking to use UNIX for quite a while - this seems an excellent opportunity to indulge!! Thankyou for your time and look forward to your comments and suggestions in the near future, Glenn Johnson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
