This does not work, I get a core dump when the ftp connection is made. I also tried downloading the updated mfsroot image and booting from diskette. I get all the way to the ftp and it says my disk is full. This looks like a permissions problem, since my disk is only 22% full. I either need to do a reinstall with the new image or recompile sysinstall. Are there any instructions for recompiling sysinstall in /stand ? -- daniel fisher To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
