There have been lots of other disruptions at my end, not worth mentioning. Onr solution might be to d/load the 44M bootable cdrom. Another thing is that in /usr/share/***/cvsup/, i found the stable-cvsup file to upgrade to [[i think!] 8.0-R FreeBSD], so i may be able to do this as per usual, over the wire.
