I would like to install 3.2-RELEASE, and am currently using 2.2.6. Is there a FAQ or instructions with how to do it with a socks 4 proxy? I have ver 2.2.6 setup, and I am using netscape configured with my proxy settings to surf the web, but when I tried to run /stand/sysinstall and perform the upgrade - the system times out logging in to ftp.cdrom.com. I've attempted to run ftp manually, and of course it doesn't work cuz it doesn't know about socks4. I tried to upgrade in passive mode too, but same error. Is it possible to configure sysinstall to realize it is behind a socks 4 proxy? Or, would I be better off dialing up and isntalling that way? tia dbk -- David Knapp PC Network Specialist LMUSD 805 473-4390 ext 426 FreeBSD Newbie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
