Ted, I believe that William was requesting a method to do a net install of FreeBSD with PPPoE. So, having been stuck at one point in this same situation (i live in Toronto, Canada, and the xDSL provided by Bell Sympatico uses PPPoE) i re-post the question: Is there any possibility of PPPoE being an **installation** option. If PPPoE is your only connection option to install FreeBSD, a post-install How-To won't really help much. :-( If it's a matter of demand, there's several thousand DSL subscribers in Canada who are stuck with PPPoE... i'm sure several would love to avoid having to buy the FreeBSD CD. I'd be willing to ask them all to submit their email addresses for a group request if it would grease the wheels. Heck, i'm sure some of them would even volunteer to help out! I know i would lend whatever resources i could. :-) Regards, Mit -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Ted Sikora Sent: Sunday, July 30, 2000 6:53 PM To: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: PPPoE William Wong wrote: > > Hi there, > > Does anyone know if there are plans to support PPPoE outta the box?
