Care to share an URL? atleo6:~#grep depenguinator /usr/ports/INDEX atleo6:~# However. If I understand you correctly, I need to boot this diskimage and then do a 'regular' install? Anything I could also do, using a CDROM or a boot-floppy? Or is there some other benefit? The purpose of my live-upgrade mission is not to get rid of CD-ROM or floppy requirements, but to minimize downtime. Hmmm, I just have another thought... Possibly there is a way to provide make installkernel/installworld with a different destination directory? Like: make installkernel -DDESTDIR=/mnt make installworld -DDESTDIR=/mnt Would this be another possibility?
