Thanks for that link, generaly the handbook just leaves me cold. It's a good reference, if you sort of already know what to do in the first place, but it's rubbish to learn from sadly... That page is better than most however, thanks again. I'm currently stuck, trying to get the system sources, so I can enable PPS support in the kernel. The old "sysinstall" seems broken, in as much as it cant seem to download anything from anywhere. Where as, the newer "bsdinstall" program, want's to reformat the hard drive and start over each time! So... How do I get the system sources downloaded in a usable form, so I can enable pps support in the kernel and use that. Or, do I have to trash the system and start over(again?) It seems (also, again) that all the documentation is some way behind even the stable release versions. I can understand that with third party sites, but not the main FreeBSD handbook or other pages. Sorry for the bother... Regards All. Dave B. PS. The best overall general installation and post install config guide I've found so far for FreeBSD9.x is at:- http://www.a1poweruser.com/ Web based text format, and downloadable pdf too. As well as the usual places specific to setting up GPS disiplined NTP servers. But, see above re getting the system sources, or not.... >><< _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
