Sounds like a valid approach. I've been doing this many times, i. e. first install base system from installation media without additional packages, setup networking (PPPoE in former times, DHCP today), then update the system to the desired version or branch (e. g. -STABLE via source), and then start installing the applications from ports (also updated). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
