Hello BSDers.

My new PC [486-66 high end system] for which I sold my beloved
Amiga 3000 will be arriving within the next 2 weeks.

I have been researching UNIX on the PC for around half a year.
(this prompted the change in platforms) And I think I need a bit
of help installing the networking stuff.

I tried a 'test' install on a friends' machine to see if I could
actually pull the whole thing off.  And well, that is where the
problem lies.

Once I had the machine booted off of the floppies (3 install disks)
and had set up the drives, I could not get the networking to function.

I know the following info for the machine:

IP address, Nameserver IP address, Gateway IP address,
and Subnet Mask.

I could not get ftp to function properly.  *gack*

Anyways, I wondered if someone could tell me specifically what files
need to be changed, and how.  The install info was not nearly
illuminating as i hoped.

Please respond via email to: kshobaki@cs.hmc.edu
I don't get to read news that often, since i don't
have a machien of my own rite now 8-)

Thank you!
