When I installed -current on my testbed I got a number of sig 12's (SIGSYS), e.g. fix one, reiterate, fix the next one, etc., that I finally gave up and installed 4.0-current from snapshot. The reason for asking is that I'm installing a console server in Vancouver, a 30 minute flight by helijet from Victoria. My options are to install -stable and subsequently install 4.1 from source, negating the requirement to travel to Vancouver to perform the installation, or install from CDROM or FTP requiring console access. Any thoughts? Regards, Phone: (250)387-8437 Cy Schubert Fax: (250)387-5766 Sun/DEC Team, UNIX Group Internet: Cy.Schubert@uumail.gov.bc.ca ITSD Province of BC "COBOL IS A WASTE OF CARDS."
