Hi there, You could either do it that way (using /stand/sysinstall), though I've never done it that way, and am not sure if it would work. Your other alternative is to get the complete source for 4.1.1 and make world. You can find more information on upgrading via source code at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/makeworld.html Cheers, Marc On Sat, Nov 11, 2000 at 02:23:04PM +0300, weecktor nemckoff wrote: > Hi there.. > > I have an old CD-ROM device, it can't boot up install program from CD.
