----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandro Mancuso" <sandro.m@videotron.ca> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 6:24 PM Subject: Installing Freebsd Hi, make build(everything you can think of) keeps giving me errors, in fact I can't do much without getting an error, so I thought I'd reinstall FreeBSD just for kicks (why not?). I'm curious, before I do that, whether or not there's a way of making diskettes, or if I have to use the 4.4 diskettes I've got and then cvsup to 4.5 stable I don't know if you can make boot disks easily from 4.5. It must be possible (somebody made them in the first place) but I don't know. You can always download the floppy images for 4.5 and create them that way. However, I think I've done this before. Just boot with your 4.4 diskettes and then choose an FTP install, changing your settings to load 4.5. It's not too bad even with a 56K modem. It's real painless with a faster connection. But in any event, it's faster that installing 4.4, cvsup to 4.5, and then building everything.
