Hi,

I made a binary copy of sysinstall according to the instructions in the
2.2.2 Errata by using the 2.2.2-RELENG bootup and fixit floppies. My system
was installed from the 2.2.2-RELEASE CD-ROM. When I install packages from
the CD-ROM, it will complain the CD-ROM is of a different version, which is
easily fixed by going to the install options and change the source to
2.2.2-RELEASE.

When I tried to install the XFree86 distribution and nothing happened. Then
I realized sysinstall was expecting XFree86 3.3 whereas the CD-ROM contained
XFree86 3.2. How could I go about installing the XFree86 distribution from
the CD-ROM.

I also tried CTM to bring my system up-to-date (hoping it could fix the
above problem). I ftp'd src-2.2.2-0300xEmpty.gz and all later deltas. When I
applied the base delta, it ended with an Exit(80) error. I am not getting
anyway either way.

BTW, is the CTM a lot more efficient comparing to the CVSup. I have a ~40K
(USR x2 56K) modem connection, which one should I use?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Elton
