And yes, you can upgrade from the local FS, it just takes a while. Just make sure the file organization mirrors ftp.freebsd.org. When it asks you for the dist directory, put in the top level of that organization. For instance, we d/l's 2.1.5-RELEASE onto our ftp site, so I pointed it to the directory /usr/anon/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.5-RELEASE. It is interesting to note that this upgrade is _slower_ than network upgrades from a local machine. I'm guessing the heavy FS activity (read/extract/write) on the sync FS is hurting it. Just an oddity. Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
