Hello, This is what I did for a 'Net install of FreeBSD via a cable modem : - get a boot floppy for FreeBSD - boot under M$-Win 95 - run winipcfg.exe to get Your IP address, the address of your default router and the one of a Name Server - reboot with the FreeBSD boot diskette - set IP config parameters like you just read with winipcfg.exe (as if these parameters were fixed) - install from a nearby FreeBSD FTP mirror (my download rate was about 200 kbyte/s) - get a DHCP client package (I use wide-DHCP which is easy to setup) - reboot your new FreeBSD box and configure your DHCP client Off you go ..... TfH (then you will have time to burn a CD) "Blevins, Mandy" wrote: > I want to install FreeBSD on my computer. However, that > computer does not have an internet connection at the > moment.
