Ahh thankls, I knew there was a way to upgrade everything without actually= =20 grabbing the CDs. I grabbed the ISO images for 7.2 just in case a few weeks= =20 ago, but I kinda like the upgrading over the net thing, and I haven't ever= =20 done that before, I think I'll try that. > BTW, this belongs on -questions, not on -chat. I know, that's why I was saying thank you for allowing me to ask this here= =20 since at the moment, and still, my normal email account, and all the lists,= =20 are not usable yet (The machine is building itself from sources, can't get = to=20 the mail) did a quickie kmail configure on another machine, but I don't hav= e=20 all my lists and filters and anything else, and only this list is actually= =20 coming in. FreeBSD-Questions isn't showing up right now, not sure why but=20 I'll check that later on, got a busy day today. Thanks again! > DES =2DAllen
