Sysinstall will only install the version that it was released with, and trying to do things other than installs with it on a different release isn't safe. You can do the ftp install of 4.4 using the 4.4 floppies. You'll need to FTP the images and make them yourself. Yes, it's worth it. At the very least, apply the security patches that have been made to RELENG_4_3 since it was released. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
