Yesterday I recieved some great advice on how to approach trying to ftp FreeBSD 2.2. I labored from dusk to dawn (with a midnight interlude for Ben & Jerry's ice cream), and learned much. Since I did learn a lot, I don't grudge the time or lost sleep. But now I am at a logjam and don't know how to progress.

Doing "show log" indicates that I have logged in successfully. I do alt-F1, recieve a warning that I will lose data on my hard drive if I continue, see a few install mesages, and finally the following message: Logging in to ftp@ftp.freebsd.org. After a few minutes of nothing else another window comes up with the message: Couldn't open FTP connection to ftp.freebsd.org: Unknown error Can anybody advise me on this? Thanks to you all. This is a great list. ps: When I hit alt F2, I key in the following--am I missing something that will enable the ftp? set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT&F0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT<isp's phone number>\T TIMEOUT 60 CONNECT" set login "TIMEOUT 5 ogin:-\\r-ogin: <my id> word: <my password>" dial Then it dials, connects, and.... -- ________________________________ Chris Booth cbooth@onyx.interactive.net
