I'm trying a net/ftp install of 4.8 on my Thinkpad. The laptop didn't come with a builtin NIC so I bought a Xircom 10/100 card. (I'm using the IBM UBS to CAT5 connector.) The floppy install puts up /stand/sysinstall nicely, but when I goto the network sections I eventually see only SLIP or PPP as options. Setting up the options screen and setting DHCP to "YES" makes no difference. According to the FreeBSD laptop web pages Xircom ought to work. As far as I can get is wriding up with eithr a slattach graphic or one for ppp. Since DHCP is working and since my cabling is okay, I'm at adead end. Suggestions? Thanks for any clues! gary PS: I did try my old 5.2 CD install, but it trapped and died. (??) -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
