As a general rule, avoid sysinstall. And once you've successfully installed the system, definitely don't try to use sysinstall for anything. It does involve learning a thousand difference commands, but it's worth it. The most direct method is as outbackdi...@gmail.com said: edit up a supfile & run csup(1). You can also download the relevant src.txz from your favourite ftp server, & extract it (tar xpf etc etc). Or even go whole hog & pull it down via svn (this does take up about double the space, though). -- -- _______________________________________________ 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"
