Simple question for some I hope:
I installed FreeBSD on my 486 at work where it was connected to the
net (and what an easy way to install it is!). The problem is that
now I have the machine at home it hangs whenever it tries to
execute startnet or the various network daemons (btw I keep the
ethernet card in the machine). What is the neat way of circumventing
this situation? I expect I can comment out parts of my rc file, but
this seems like a very inelegant method of solving what must be a
common problem. (NB: I intend to run ppp over the modem and I
don't know whether this requires some network software to be running)
Eagerly awaiting answers!
