When in /stand/sysinstall, goto the Options menu and enter 3.x-STABLE instead of 3.2-RELEASE. Now you should be able to get packages and stuff working. Another way to deal with this is to cvsup your sources to 3.x-STABLE and rebuilding your system. Unless of course you are willing to do a complete new install. Exactly which 'system files' do you need? ---------------------------------- Michael Josefsson, MSEE mj@isy.liu.se This message was sent by XFMail running on FreeBSD 4.3-RC ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
