FreeSBIE is based on FreeBSD 5.3. Their last release was on December 6, 2004 (5.3 came out in November), so it can't be 6.X. > If you want 5.3 or 5.4 then why not just do a normal installation ?? From their FAQ: ------------------- Is there a way to install FreeSBIE on my HD ? Yes ! Since FreeSBIE 1.1 it's possible to use the BSDInstaller to install FreeSBIE on your hard drive, and then turn it into FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE by means of cvsup ------------------- But I would do what Gavin said and do a real install of 5.4. It's really not hard. :) -Mark
