I read in the installation guide that you can install FreeBSD this way if you have a nother FreeBSD box handy but it makes no reference to what has to be done on the existing box to enable such a setup. I tried man -k parallel and man -k lpt but it only appeared to produce a printer driver. The already installed box is running 2.1-R and is on ethernet. Instructions or pointers to instructions/man pages would be appreciated. Andrew
