The checksum matched up ok, but it looks like >the ISO image has changed since then. yep, that's it. my checksum matches the old file. guess I should have grabbed the checksum file first. :-) I hadn't notice the date change. That's one thing that just doesn't make sense to me about the way fbsd releases are being managed. I have absolutely no problem with the release being re-done for just about any reason they think is justifiable. But there really should be a field somewhere in the version/release number to allow distinguishing between one and another. Anything that's important enough to warrant re-issueing the release is obviously important enough to have a number to indicate the version you have has that revision in it. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
