This is getting a bit rediculous, for sure. I have had perfect success getting the 3.0 snaps going and the 2.1.7.1 going on various machines, but 2.2.2 is driving me up the wall!!!! What gives......? The install crashed and refused to install anything after the initial installation...... someone remarked ``the install bug''????? The system is up, but sysinstall will not install cvsup so I can update the bloody beast! Even manual installs don't work. The RELENG snap was nuked on freebsd.org, so I can't get a later sysinstall or updated sources or...... etc....... grrrrrrrr! Are they down in one of the other trees? After 5 installs today, I am getting a bit nauseous of FreeBSD, and I really do want to get it up, right. The two 3.0 snap installs went like clockwork. Everyone said go 2.2.2-RELEASE, so, like a fool, I took their advice........BAD BAD BAD. The RELENG snap install went like clockwork, until the root tree was nuked on freebsd.org...... I assume another snap is coming out????? I did not want to get bit by the 2.2.2-RELEASE problems, right, so the RELENG was a better way to go..... until the tree was nuked and I can't find another alternate tree..... Well, then maybe 2.2.2-RELEASE...... nope, it pulls ones hair out..... Yikes..... there has gotta be a better way...... Any pointers appreciated. OK, on my archive box, I have all the various releases that were up until a couple of days ago, 2.1.7.1, 2.2.2-RELEASE, 2.2-970618-SNAP, 3.0-970618-SNAP, and 3.0-970807-SNAP...... What is the best way to approach fixing the 2.2.2-RELEASE I have up to get at least somewhere up the RELENG tree beyond the 2.2.2-RELEASE problems? IF I reinstall 2.2-RELENG, minimally (sources only) via ftp and then manually install them, and do a make world, will that get up far enough to get a working cvsup?????
