I'm glad I asked you to reply to the net, because I have scsi cdroms, and I don't really know how to do the ide cdrom dance. There are three ways to get freebsd-current. One is incredibly bad, and the other two work fine. The obvious method, ftp'ing directly from a mirror site, is a horrible way to do it. The reason is that current is a moving target, that is broken very often. If you get it via a direct ftp, then you don't have an easy way to get updates, and when things don't work (and the chances are very high they won't, the first time) then you're kinda screwed. The other two methods are via sup (for those directly net connected) and ctm (for those, like me, that dial in). Both work great, and are described in the freebsd handbook. Why don't you give the handbook a look see, decide which method suits you, and come back for questions? > ========================================================================== Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu, I run FreeBSD-current on n3lxx + Journey2 Three Accounts for the Super-users in the sky, Seven for the Operators in their halls of fame, Nine for Ordinary Users doomed to crie, One for the Illegal Cracker with his evil game In the Domains of Internet where the data lie.
