KEITHLEY" Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm finally ready to switch from 1.x to 2.0.5. (I was waiting for the July release of 2.1 :-) but I'm not going to wait an more.) Since I don't have a CDROM or a QIC tape drive and I don't want to make a bizillion floppies I thought I'd do what I did with 1.x and bring up 2.0.5 to the point where I'd be able to run kermit and then kermit over the bin distribution. But alas I note that kermit instructions aren't in the 2.0.5 INSTALL any more. Okay, I still have the instructions from the 1.x install, so I should be able to figure that out. I looked in /2.0.5-RELEASE/ports/comms/kermit on ftp.cdrom.com expecting to find the actual kermit binary. Duh, why don't I see it? I see that the 2.0-RELEASE/tools has kermit and the other bits I would need. Is it reasonable to expect that these would work on 2.0.5. My guess is they will -- anyone want to tell me I'm wrong? -- Kaleb KEITHLEY
