How do I upgrade the sysinstall program? can I dload it from somewhere? If you're upgrading the main system with sysinstall, you should use the sysinstall from *that* *version* to do so. The easiest way is to download the install floppies, *boot* from them, and do an upgrade install from there. It sounds, however, like your sysinstall *is* the latest version, so that's not a concern. You have a two-month-old system, and a two-day-old ports collection, so you should be more or less okay. To make sure, you could install the ports upgrade kit, as (I think) recommended in a part of the error message that you didn't quote, or you could try to stick the right date into /var/db/port.mkversion by hand. >To: "Manny Obrey" >Subject: Re: stand/sysinstall >Date: 28 Feb 2000 13:46:37 -0500 > >"Manny Obrey" writes: > > > Back in Jan I upgraded from 3.3-RELEASE to 3.4-RELEASE > > using the 'sysinstall' program and after a kernel re-compile > > all was well.
