What floppies are you talking about? What does what you say have to do with system snapshots. How do I download the snapshot version with all the files and sub-directors? This snapshot URL must be a normal thing available to the general FreeBSD user. So there must be some pre-canned way to download and use it. How do I find this out? -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Lowell Gilbert Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 2:36 PM To: fbsd_user@a1poweruser.com Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.

It's exactly like any other install image. Boot the floppies and do a binary upgrade. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
