Don't worry, it will work fine. Installation program can fetch an IP and other needed information (default gateway, netmask, etc.) via DHCP. During installation, you can select an installation media (which, in this case, is FTP). After then it will ask you to configure network interface by hand or to try a DHCP configuration. The only thing you need to know, is the FTP server where from you want to download the packages. Installation program can give you a list where you can select a one, so no problems with that neither. -- Lasse Kaislaniemi / lasse@mutteri.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
