With respect to getting files via ftp: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE If you get the entire directory that will surely cover it. To get the entire directory 'ftp> get 2.2.5-RELEASE.tar'. The ftpd will tar it all up and send it to you. This is pretty neat but probably time consuming. Fetching the '/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/src' will get you the "base" distribution, including kernel sources, bin and sbin. With respect to doing the upgrade: You can use '$ /stand/sysinstall' to effect an upgrade. Be sure to read all the warnings and back up important configuration files. You could also just wipe out your disc and start from scratch. :) I have done this a couple times but I only recently migrated from the MS camp. Hey, I didn't know. Unix provides a better alternative. You can also track the "stable" development branch using cvsup to keep your source tree always on the leading edge of stable FreeBSD development. This is not really upgrading per se, but it is related. http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook233.html#489 http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/upgrade/upgrade.html Hope this helps, Jason Wells
