It's kinda hard to actually install -STABLE until you have the system up and going, unless you use one of the releg22 releases. I'd say, install 2.2.5, and (assuming you have a internet connection, of course), use cvsup to get the source for 2.2-STALBE (which BTW is now 2.2.5-STABLE) and at least remake your kernel, if not world. I believe a fair number of changes and fixes have been made since 2.2.5 already. > > Thanks > Michael > :) *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
