Hi, I want to update my system from 2.0 to 2.2.1 but I'm having problems with a scsi tape drive (need to back up system before I upgrade). Can i ftp a 2.2.1 or 2.1.7 kernel and use it (with 2.0 utilities and filesystem) to do the backup? If so which of the two do you recommend and lastly where cani find just the kernels in binary format (i've looked on the ftp site but can't find them - I guess i looked in the wrong place). My ssystem is a pent100 with an ncr scsi controller so there should be no device problems (besides 2.0 runs fine). I've sent email similar to this to Joerg so if he is on this list I'm sorry for the duplication. The reson I'm in a hurry is I want to return the tape drive if it won't work with freebsd... thanks, Alan
