Older releases are still available from many mirrors. See http://www.freebsdmirrors.org/FBSDsites.php3 to find a mirror carrying some older release. > > Can anyone tell me how long 4.7 is supported ? According to http://www.freebsd.org/security/index.html 4.7 is supported until 31 Dec. 2003 After that date security fixes might not be applied to the RELENG_4_7 branch. (Which is essentially what "officially supported" means.) -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
