I don't really have a CD, but I've downloaded (maybe...) everything during the weekend into another linux machine (oops.?), so I guess it's only a matter of doing ``cp -r'' [then wait for equivalent of a few cup of coffee, or (probably better) to re-read the handbook/faq :)] to prepare equivalent media. > If you don't have the CD then it will involve further work.

Also re-ask the question on the -questions list. one of the things I was wondering about was => if the 4.4-RELEASE still have the driver (source) code for ie(4) or not - ie., is it only missing in the kernel configuration file, or already have dropped the driver source code as well (do I have to resurrect it from 4.2-RELEASE)? -- stuff like that. but since you suggest :) -- I'll try the 4.4-RELEASE PATH first anyway. ...if I'm stuck - will comeback :) thank again!! kenji To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
