Gave me a little more screen feedback, but only 2 more checkout directories up to /src/bin/csh/csh.1 before it timed out. Ok, I'm blowing off cvsup. (but still trying cvsup.dk and .se out of curiosity, maybe I'll get lucky, or maybe I'll have to conclude cvsup is totally useless. Does it work for anybody else? is my 3.1R machine now scrogged?) -------------------- Plan B: I did get the 300 megs of 3.4R "bare-bones" .iso images at 600 megabits/sec from Germany and correctly onto two cdroms. From disk 1's UPGRADE.TXT : "These notes assume that you are using the version of sysinstall supplied with the version of FreeBSD to which you intend to upgrade." I'm trying to get from 3.1R installed from retail cdroms to 3.4R from the bare-bones cd-roms, but the latter are "bare" of a sysinstall. Fair questions, I think: just where does one find the sysinstall for 3.4R? Why isn't it on the .iso images?
