Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-mac-type="54455854"; x-mac-creator="4D4F5353" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello. I'm running the installer on a 486DX2-66 with an EtherExpress 16 card. I have it set to 0x300, IRQ 10. When I get to the Installation Media section of install, it says: If you are using PPP over a serial device, as opposed to a direct ethernet connection, then you may first need to dial your ISP... Then it gives me some choices at the bottom. The problem is that I AM using a direct ethernet connection, but that's not one of my choices at the botton of the dialog box. The only choices I get are Parallel Port SLIP, Serial SLIP, and Serial PPP. The dialog isn't particularly clear on what to do if you are not using either of these but are using an ethernet connection instead. So I'm stuck on that dialog. Any ideas? -- Dan Delaney ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel G.
