I have quite the same problem. my OBSD routers are usually old PII boxes and doing this kind of upgrade on them is not trivial. other, I have some remote routers I cant do this, so They run FBSD. I'd rather use OBSD on my routers, but this thing of not been able to make 4.1 become 4.2 without a cdrom (as is recommended) makes me use OBSD only in the closest routers. i'm not here to make comparissons from OSes, or to make trouble. I just felt that would be good to say that if anytime in OBSD this upgrade was possible it would be a great feature (well, at least for me an the new_guy :) ) :) matheus -- We will call you cygnus, The God of balance you shall be
