[ I cut freebsd-qa from the cc: list... ] Another sysinstall bug I just noticed. Boot cdrom. Skip kernel config Say no to using pc-card device as install media. Select Upgrade. Get message saying "The UPGRADE file is not provided on this particular floppy image." Select Ok. (the only option) Get message saying "Given all that scary stuff you just read, are you sure you want to risk it all and proceed with this upgrade?" Selecting yes allows one to proceed along and do an actual binary upgrade, which worked great in my case, with two exceptions: My edits to /etc/dhclient.conf & /etc/hosts.allow got lost... (I've never tried a binary upgrade before, maybe this is normal, but my rc.conf and /etc/motd had edits preserved.) - Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
