I think you might have left out some important information we could use to better help you. Are you talking about the ISP Juno? (Do they still exist?) Are you in the US? Are you asking about how to connect to your ISP via a dial-up connection? I think most of us are using DSL or cable broadband, so people may not be making the same assumptions about what "connect to the Internet" as what you expect. What is a "take-off" copy of FreeBSD? Do you perhaps mean a LiveCD -- a CD on which a bootable install of FreeBSD exists, so you can boot into FreeBSD on the CD, but then take out the CD and reboot into whatever OS is installed on the computer's hard drive? I'm making some wild guesses here, because I really don't know what you're asking. Please help us clarify your needs so we can help you satisfy them. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpXyD1YX4zS9.pgp Description: PGP signature

It's a bit unclear what you're asking, but it sounds like you want help regarding more recent versions of freeBSD and their capabilities. Have you looked at www.freebsd.org and the documentation there? I'm not sure what a book about freeBSD would have that the official documentaioin wouldn't. > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: internet access from FreeBSD
>> Is there a later copy Not that I'm aware of. >> I searched my copy for the word "internet" and couldn't find it. Weird. Did you try "Internet"? >> Can I access the internet with a currently gettable copy of FreeBSD If I understand correctly, you're asking if you can use FreeBSD to access the Internet? If so...yes. Any version will do! If you're referring to using a web browser and such, then you'll have to install those yourself, but it's not difficult. >> Since I get my mail via juno , can I access them nicely from FreeBSD or do >> I need something to interface to it... I have no experience with this 'juno', so I can't help there. Perhaps others will have further advice. -Modulok- On 9/22/09, gs_stol...@juno.com wrote: > I have a copy of Greg Lehey's online "book" about FreeBSD, but > I believe it is from February 2006.

internet access from FreeBSD
I have a copy of Greg Lehey's online "book" about FreeBSD, but I believe it is from February 2006. Is there a later copy, and if so, where can I find a copy (URL please)? I searched my copy for the word "internet" and couldn't find it. I did access the internet with a take-off copy of FreeBSD, but I don't have access to it any more. Can I access the internet with a currently gettable copy of FreeBSD, and if so, for what versions is that true (my personal version is old, but it works well so I never upgraded)? Since I get my mail via juno , can I access them nicely from FreeBSD or do I need something to interface to it and present me with my mailbox, listing the items in it and telling me the usual stuff about envelop mail (sender, subject, when received)? $5,000 a Week For Life Publishers Clearing House winner annouced on NBC.
