If someone has a DHCP connection and is going to be installing via FTP, what's the easiest way to do this? It seems to be a chicken and egg situation. This is especially true if you have a connection on which your IP address changes with every connection. The easiest solution I can think of is to first download the /bin directory to your box and install from that. But then you need DHCP so you need to install that too. Does this process get easier under 3.3? -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.freebsddiary.org/freebsd/ NZ FreeBSD User Group - http://www.nzfug.nz.freebsd.org/ The Racing System - http://www.racingsystem.com/racingsystem.htm unix @ home - http://www.unixathome.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
