I believe this should be a stable issue as I haven't encountered it before, sorry if not. uname -a reports: 'FreeBSD <hostname> 3.4-STABLE FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE #0: Mon Dec 27 13:34:45 EST 1999 root@host:/kpi/src/sys/compile/W WW i386' (What a mouthful. Shouldn't it be shorter? I think this is a result of my tracking stable, can I alter this without recompiling?) i) My sysinstall doesn't seem to save the options settings which I believe it always has in the past (between invocations of it, it keeps them for the session). In particular, I'm trying to change it to an FTP media source as opposed to CD-ROM. It always reverts, even though the option says to save changes. Am I doing something wrong? Also, F1 in the options screen appears to drop it to the main menu instead of giving help... Apart from that there's no real errors messages apart from the fact that it always fails to read /dev/acd0 upon starting because its still looking for CD-ROM. ii) Off topic and niggly, but when I attempt to install ports off 'releng3', I need to constantly change the release name to 3.4-yyyymmdd-STABLE. Is this the hard way around?... wouldn't it easier to symlink 3.4-STABLE to that directory? Cheers and Happy New Year to all, Joe. --- Joe Shevland Principal Consultant KPI Logistics Pty Ltd mailto:shevlandj@kpi.com.au http://www.kpi.com.au 'I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.' -- Mae West To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
