Hi, 1) I always update my system via cvsup and sysintall need to be updated by hand: # cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall # make all install (see handbook) I've never experiment a binary upgrade, but you can try install FreeBSD 4.4 sources from the cd and compile sysinstall like above. 2) I think the easiest way of upgrading a system is cvsup and you don't need a good connection to do it, a 56K modem is just fine.
