Date: Mon, 04 Mar 1996 17:32:50 +0100 Organization: Kampai Lines: 16 Message-ID: <313B1B32.2F1CF0FB@kampai.euronet.nl> NNTP-Posting-Host: p419.asd.euronet.nl Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-2022-jp Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (X11; I; BSD/386 uname failed) Hi, I've been trying, without success, to install FreeBSD 2.1 over our LAN. I have the FreeBSD 2.1 CD mounted and available via both anonymous ftp and NFS from our server. However, both the ftp and NFS methods fail. Am I trying to do something that the CD was not "designed" to do? Is it really going to be easier for me to install a CD drive in the target machines than to install from the LAN? Any help greatly appreciated. Gary -- pub 1024/C001D00D 1996/01/22 Gary Howland <gary@kampai.euronet.nl> Key fingerprint = 0C FB 60 61 4D 3B 24 7D 1C 89 1D BE 1F EE 09 06
