	I'm not even sure you could find the kernel sources for 2.1.0
publically available. Your best bet would be to use 2.1.7.1. Go to the
src directory under that release on ftp.freebsd.org and d/l all of the
ssys.* files and install.sh into their own directory. Then do /bin/sh
install.sh sys

	Two of the systems that I maintain are 600 miles away and I upgrade
them from here a few times a year. I have a checklist for a make world
upgrade that includes hints for remote work. Check out

Good luck,

Doug
