You can also do a standard ftp install through the boot floppy (which IMHO would be a better way to go rather than waiting for the tree to build). Just back up /etc before starting. Besides that, the example supfile shouldn't be used stock; you should modify it for the distributions you want and for a close supsite (don't use sup.freebsd.org if you can help it, it's _very_ loaded!). > It looks like there is also an Upgrade item in /sysinstall but it > requires being booted from a floppy.
