That's was one of my first impressions too.

That's the first time I've heard of a priest installing a BSD UNIX.
Wouldn't he uhh, like, have 'issues' with the daemons and everything?

Ah. Right. Gotcha! You can't write to this mailing list and "not go into
details". That's rather the point of the whole thing. Without knowing the
details of your problem, we can't help you. Fortunately, in this case, the
problem became apparent.
>this makes me made, well think that it must be me,
You never know.
>I format install the basic install, then cvsup upgrade again that go ok,
Excellent. You appear to know how to drive cvsup -- this means you are an
intelligent being who wishes to stay up-to-date with the latest bugfixes
and what-have-you. You've downloaded the cvsup 16.1 binaries (knowing that
this latest release has a bugfix which can speed things up), and you've
read the example files in /usr/share/examples/cvsup
>hay I just upgraded the same fucking version how nice.
Hmmm, You did not mention performing the 'make world' routine, where one
does
cd /usr/src && make world
and then either says 'woooo, look at it go', or does something else for an
hour or two, depending on how fast your computer is. Don't forget to make
and install a new kernel as well. If you don't do these two steps, all
you've done is updated the source code, but haven't compiled and installed
new binaries -- hence your system will indeed be running the version as
before cvsupping, which as you say, is nice.
>well fuck this, download and install 3.3 since I have no access to the
Mmmmkay, why did you bother downloading version 3.3 when you've got it on
CD? Did you accidently put the 3.3 CDs in the microwave when making a
snack? I've done that a few times in the past. But only with dodgy 80s
punk CDs. And only then when I was drunk.

We feel your pain. It is the pain caused by laughing too much.

What? You're not making sense. What files? The CD is no longer theirs --
you purchased it from the vendor. That means it's yours. Unless you stole
it. But you didn't say you _did_ steal it, so that's OK I guess. Maybe I
should call the police _just_in_case_.

A that sentence should what be?

OK. Enough of this retardation. Formulate your question clearly and
concisely and we'll do what we can to help. As well as calling the
authorities.
