Thanks Adam for the reply. I will try downloading CD1. I have upgraded my FreeBSD 5.3 to FreeBSD 5.4 as per http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-upgrade-5.3-to-5.4/ There is 5.4 to 6 upgrade also at http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-upgrade-5.4-to-6.0/ Regards, Yujin --- www.NetFreeHost.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Yujin, If you want to do a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.0, I suggest that you only download the bootonly ISO, and then do a minimal install using FTP as source.

Since i am on slow net, downloading both will take few days to finish. I don't need GUI, just FreeBSD black and white installation :-) Anyone know where i can purchase FreeBSD 6 CD in india ?

They didn't have FreeBSD 6 CDs when i checked the site last time. But they can make it available for you evenif they don't have it currently. I also have a dialup connection so downloading the ISOs is a daunting task for me. I myself purchased CDs for FreeBSD 5.4 release and NetBSD, so i think the site is reliable. Anyways give it a try if you want.

From: FlashWebHost.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]: There is 5.4 to 6 upgrade also at http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-upgrade-5.4-to-6.0/ This would be a great resource, if it were sure to work. I am not anxious to go from 5.4-STABLE to 6.0 (not until it goes stable), but I tried to run through the preparatory steps as outlined on that page. I ran into a few concerns with steps 2 and 4: freebsd-update -v IDS | tail +8 | grep . /root/base-modified This resulted in an empty file for me... but perhaps that is as expected. When the suggested step is to generate a list of files from the base system which have been locally modified, are we talking about a list of only binaries, or of _all_ locally modified files? While I've edited many configuration parameters, I certainly haven't modified any binary files. cut -f 1 -d '$' /usr/local/freebsd-update/work/md5all | uniq | while read X; do if [ -f $X ]; then echo $X; fi; done | sort /root/base-old First, after installing freebsd-update according to the first step, I don't have a work directory (nor anything at all in that directory, for that matter). Should something exist in this path after installing the freebsd-update port? And second, how would one correctly execute this command string in bash? I got errors from both cut and while: cut: [-cf] list: illegal list value while: Expression Syntax.

Yah, stable is better than alpha or the bleeding edge 'current' development image, but still in need of significant care. Think of how they report someone's health condition after a trauma. Stable seems to mean they can finally move the patient from the operating room to a bed with monitors and walk down and get lunch. But, the patient is still a long way from being able to drive home. Just so, a FreeBSD version spends a long time in stable before making it to RELEASE. jerry And of course, I'm now much more interested that procedure than I was a few minutes ago! Good luck on that.I normally install from scratch rather than do major level upgrades. jerry Thanks, ~John ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
