Would it be so hard to have patched iso images of freebsd kinda like a mini release I guess. Im sure you want support? Well I have tried that I purchased the 4.2 powerpack and then purchased 4.3 for what? By the time I got them I has to patch the kernel now that reminds me of M$ you buy and buy and buy but you never have the latest and its never secure. It really is a pain to have to patch the kernel three or four times after an install from the iso not to mention all the ports that you will have to fix the latest I could find on the -stable or releng branches is 20010721 which would need one core and one port patched to be secure if I could figure out how to make an iso out of it I have seen a japan ftp server that has weekly iso's but I dont speak that language is there just no interest in being able to do a fresh install from a bootable CD that is stable and secure? in the last few months I feal I have wasted $150 and alot more in time with freebsd is this how your suppose to feel? something like to good-ol microsoft reaming? When should I try again 4.4,5.0? All I want is to be able to install freebsd from a cd-rom that is not already exploitible. Please tell me why that is to much to ask for without OpenBSD 2.9 "which is considerably harder to install but I did find an iso" I would do it myself if I knew how and had the bandwitdth but I dont I have to get friends to download the iso's for me since cable and dsl are not options here yet. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
