Working fine, but want to get current. I've got a box at work that was about the same age, and i upgraded it to -current a few weeks ago. Upgrading way older systems (> ~ 1 year) from source however is virtually impossible due to a ton of bootstrap problems. It's probably easier to install the binaries from a 3.0 CD then. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
