I'll erase and start anew. You mean a "virgin" install from scratch, as if the disk was new and empty? In that case I would download a recent 7-current snapshot ISO, install it and update from there with cvsup or csup. The June snapshots have been created and posted to the FTP servers just a few days ago. They're on ftp.freebsd.org and probably on some of the mirrors (but not on all of them). The directory is /pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/200706. > 1)Using a FreeBSD AMD64 6.2 boot only CD, and doing a minumal install. Yes, you can do that if you have a 6.2 CD at hand. However, I would prefer to start with a fresh 7-current snapshot instead, as explained above. > 2)Then installing pkg_add -r cvsup and getting the /usr/src w/ current You can also use csup instead of cvsup. csup is in the base system, so it doesn't require installing a port.
