I know I had to install 4.4 in our lab (which blocks most net access) full of old machines. Fortunatly I have a 4.3 ISO sitting here that I just grabbed fdimage from and went on, but it did seem like a rather noticable oversight. What about the boot managers in that directory? Certainly people will want to dual boot their new FreeBSD installs? -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
