Simply install it, pick whatever you think is appropriate from the ports collection as well (mail software, news system, fancy shells). I think all you need to do is entering the router's IP address as default router. You can already do this from the sysinstall tool. Don't ask, try. :) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
