Yes - but there is no one there who can successfully be told how to run = it. We have serious communications issues - they want to use back = slashes and have no idea what a slash is. Even if you tell them which = key to use, they know better and use a back slash cause thats what = Windoze uses. The disk should be in the mail to me now. I will be able = to work with it when it arrives. >=20 > The file /etc/freebsd-update.conf should contain the line >=20 > Components src world kernel >=20 > if you want to make sure the source is properly updated, > along with the world and kernel (GENERIC). As indicated before, I don't think all the source got updated. The = kernel showed 9.2 after recompilation. However UPDATING was not = updated. Thats as much as I could check before. >=20 >=20 >=20 >>>> Step 5: reboot >>>=20 >>> Attention: Into single-user mode. >>=20 >> Not possible since the system is located over 100 miles away. >> Everything has to be done via remote console. >=20 > Does this mean "SSH only" or do you have a _real_ console > transmission by which you can access the system _prior_ to > the OS providing the SSH access?

I do = disable all ports during the process via an reduced rc.conf file. >=20 >=20 >=20 >=20 >=20 > --=20 > Polytropon > Magdeburg, Germany > Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 > Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... >=20
