I reference: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html I want to do (I think) an ftp install of freebsd. The install instructions say 'If you plan to install FreeBSD via anonymous FTP, the only things you will need are the installation floppies. The installation program itself will handle anything else that is required.' I cannot help but wonder if this is the truth? I am connecting to the internet via a Cable modem, my ISP (ATT) requires that I pass a hostname parameter to dhcp - this is achieved (in Redhat/Debian/Caldera linux) by adding a -h MYHOSTNAME parameter to pump or dhcpc. My question is this - if this is truly the case is the ftp install boot floppy gonna properly initialize my nic? Thanks for any assistance that you can offer me, Will To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
