So i think that you didn't burn the cd in the right way. Mamy you can mount the file as a source, but i have no experance at all with this, so i can't help you with that. Let me know when you have a solution to this subproblem. (I do have on, burn another cd, not as data) Alex ----- Original Message ----- From: "vass D" To: "Alfatrion" ; Sent: Sunday, July 01, 2001 12:57 PM Subject: Re: upgrade - newbie > Alfatrion thanx for your answer. just removed /usr/src > as u said. > > when i try to upgrade from stand/sysinstall though i > get > error message that the cd does not seem to be a valid > freebsd cd and it cant retrieve the stuff. > the cdrom is iso image mounted in /cdrom and contains > the file '4.3-install.iso'. > > any ideas what happens? is there any special way to > deal with iso files? > > thanx a lot and looking forward to your response. > > --- Alfatrion wrote: > > > hi. wonder if anyone can help me with the > > following. > > > i got freebsd 4.2 on my HD and want to go to 4.3. > > i > > > have a 4.3 iso image on cd. do i upgrade the > > system > > > from /stand/sysinstall? > > > > > > tried to do the above but didnt quite work. when i > > > selected to update all the sources a message > > > poped-up saying that /usr/src already exists and > > > that this is not the proper way to install sourses > > > > > and that i should be using cvsup or ctm. > > > > > > i dont wanna use cvsup or ctm cause i alredy have > > a > > > 600M iso image... > > > > > > any ideas? > > > > > > > > > thanx in advance > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > > > Do You Yahoo!? > > > Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
