Gerasimatos) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: FreeBSD 2.0.5-ALPHA [Installation question] Date: 9 Jun 1995 09:32:12 GMT Organization: Computer Science Undergraduate Association, UC Berkeley Lines: 18 Message-ID: <3r94es$p35@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: soda.csua.berkeley.edu Have any of you successfully installed 2.0.5 onto your machine(s) from scratch ? The floppy install isn't working because of the checksum problems, but I am curious to know if someone has installed it another way (PPP, maybe)? If you have, would you please contact me? I have no idea how to use PPP with that sort of term program (I've used SLIP with kermit, but I have no idea how to do the PPP installation - if it even works - I've heard differing reports about that). I'd like to have an OS by the end of this weekend, and I'd rather it not be FreeBSD 2.0R (or NetBSD 1.0 - I like FreeBSD). Thanks a million! Dimitrios
