Pay attention. 8-) 8-). Basically, he needs to get to building RC2 on a machine that can't install RC2. I've already mentioned using disk #2 (not sure if it exists for RC2), and/or unpacking the tar archives for the source parts manually from disk #1. It's preferrable to be able to do this from a CVS tree, though, since there might be a fix in the source tree since the RC2 was cut, which will fix his problem. Otherwise, he has to reinvent it. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
