It's also at a lights-out ISP site so getting to it physically is difficult. Any suggestions on how to do this when the minibox is a 28.8 POTS line away? Would the NFS be reliable enough? It's currently at 2.2.1-RELEASE and I'd like to bring it up to 2.2-STABLE. Thanks. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
