Hi all, Presently I install my servers using a automated pxeboot method=2E The NFS= image I choose is a copy of the freebsd 4=2E8-RELEASE cdrom=2E Post instal= l I cvsup the plain 4=2E8-RELEASE server to RELENG_4_8 (taking the patchlevel = to 4=2E8-RELEASE-p15 for example) and then build world=2E The cvsup/buildworl= d takes a long time=2E These steps are also difficult to automate=2E=20 My question is: Is it possible that I update my cdrom image to the to 4=2E8-RELEASE-p15 before install ? In other words, are the patches that released as source diffs also available as downloadable cd images? If the answer is no, then can I patch the cdrom image myself or create a new PATCHED cd image that I can then use for my NFS installs ? Thanks for your replies=2E Regards, -ansh -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web=2Ecom/ =2E
