Evidently, due to rearranging the file system between releases, it is not sufficient to go into Options, specify 3.3-RELEASE instead of 3.2-RELEASE, and still be able to quickly and easily download packages. The least port one would want is something to go fix up /stand and /stand/sysinstall to know where things now live. The other obvious, and hopefully possible, thing to do is to gum up the FTP tree with links that keep as many prior installations viable as possible. Just because I am one release level behind, I shouldn't have to drop what I'm doing to figure out what to change to make /stand/sysinstall be able to fetch things correctly. That program was designed to make support easy for FreeBSD - it should stay as easy. Just an idea. -ecsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
