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 > I know the system should probably be upgraded to 2.2.5 etc. - but it's about a > hundred miles away... ;-) 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 http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/upgrade.html. Good luck, Doug
