Alfatrion thanx for your answer. just removed /usr/src as u said. when i try to upgrade from stand/sysinstall though i get error message that the cd does not seem to be a valid freebsd cd and it cant retrieve the stuff. the cdrom is iso image mounted in /cdrom and contains the file '4.3-install.iso'. any ideas what happens? is there any special way to deal with iso files? thanx a lot and looking forward to your response. --- Alfatrion <alfatrion@cybertron.tmfweb.nl> wrote: > > hi. wonder if anyone can help me with the > following. > > i got freebsd 4.2 on my HD and want to go to 4.3. > i > > have a 4.3 iso image on cd. do i upgrade the > system > > from /stand/sysinstall? > > > > tried to do the above but didnt quite work. when i > > selected to update all the sources a message > > poped-up saying that /usr/src already exists and > > that this is not the proper way to install sourses > > > and that i should be using cvsup or ctm. > > > > i dont wanna use cvsup or ctm cause i alredy have > a > > 600M iso image... > > > > any ideas? > > > > > > thanx in advance > > > > __________________________________________________ > > Do You Yahoo!? > > Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
