Hi Harry, I would go for 4.8 if I where you. Don't know exactly what's in the Additional CD's for 4.7, I seem to remember that it was 3 CD's just as = for 4.8 (have them both installed) ?. It might be a replica of the ports = skeleton,=20 But you will get all you need with 4.8... You should read the documentation, the handbook for instructions on how = to Upgrade ports, of for that matter the OS itself,, if that's what you = planning to do http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html Just go for 4.8 and take it from there,,, Best rgs from another Newbie /Mikael=20 -----Original Message----- From: HarryH [mailto:forHarryH@hotmail.com]=20 Sent: den 20 maj 2003 08:30 To: FreeBSD Unix Questions Subject: FreeBSD 4.7 vs 4.8 Hi, I am new to BDS.
