Hello, For all of us text based mail client users, please try to wrap at a single screen width. Just so we get this right, you cvsup'd 4.9-RELEASE and then ran /stand/sysinstall? I might be out to lunch but I think you are going in two different directions. cvsup'ing down source and then upgrading is a good way but as far as I know does not require /stand/sysinstall. Please someone correct me if I am wrong. If you are cvsup'ing 4.9-RELEASE sources to your computer you need to follow the directions that go along with this means of upgrading. You can view them here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html This is AFTER you have cvsup'd the 4.9-RELEASE (or whatever sources you choose) down to your system. If you really like sysinstall and want to use that, I believe your best bet is to create installation meda, floppies or a CD-ROM, and reboot it with these. Selecting UPGRADE is probably a good bet for you. As well when you do your upgrade at some point you will have to reboot, which if everything has gone well, will replace the 4.8 kernel with a new 4.9-RELEASE kernel. IOW -- You should see the 4.9-RELEASE login banner. Hope this helps. R.
