I actually tried installing debian now. It has no manual, and they give a hostname, according to mail errors, of my IP address with a C in front of it, with the .wi.std.charter.net on it, like this. c64.3.55.2.wi.std.charter.net. How am I supposed to be able to predict what my IP will be to pass a host parameter? At 06:08 PM 1/17/03 -0700, you wrote: >DHCP is a separate issue from the cable modem.
