There is no "auto" install for FreeBSD, but they offer a FreeBSD "rescue system" (mfsBSD in fact) and you can proceed from there. They even have a help page which can get you started on installing. No technical support for FreeBSD but I guess you won't need that anyway. They offer up to 4 additional IPs, 1 euro/month per IP, or you can get subnets which of course costs a lot more. The only problem you might have is bandwidth, but additional charges when you go over the limit don't seem too bad. -- Condense soup, not books! _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
