Having never installed FreeBSD, I haven't a clue as to how to help you. I've re-addressed your note to Questions@FreeBSD.Org - Maybe someone smarter than I can help... ...sjs... ---------- | From: Jens Staurup <staurup@ozemail.com.au> | Date: Sunday, February 02, 1997 5:08 PM | | | HI, | | I'm having a little trouble trying to install the FreeBSD via FTP. I've | downloaded the BOOT.FLP for MSDOS, which I've RAWRITEed onto a 1.44, booted, | etc. etc. no problem, make my selection in novice mode as suggested, go | through all the menus, entering FTP as the installation mode, using an | Australian mirror (the primary one), entered all the IP info, and then I get | to the VTY (no that's not what it's called, sorry, but can't remember) | toggle with the ALT-F1/ALT-F3. The instruction simply says that TERM is | about the only command you'll need. How do I delived my ISP's number, modem | speed, etc. etc. and how do I dial? I can't seem to get ANY response from | the TERM mode except, of course, from the ~. , ~p and ~? commands, but they | don't do anything along the lines of dial. | | I also tried playing around with the various other commands, DIAL, | SET (including the phone number, etc. but I still can't get it to work), | SHOW, etc. etc. DIAL seems to be the right idea, only that there doesn't | seem to be enough information for it to proceed. It goes quickly through | the phase to delivering (as close as I can remember): | DIAL 1 | Dial OK! | Login OK! | | That's all the info. I can think of that would be relevant. Thank you very | much for your time and effort. | | Per |
