How can I retrieve and inatall 2.2.5 and any updated X stuff without losing the considerable amount of critical archive material, including mail and programmes, that I have already accumulated? I should point out that I have not found any up to date CD roms on sale in Sydney, Australia Thanking you Philip Lavers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
