Oh dear ... "a couple of month" for a scratch install??? Why don't you just take the CD from the shelf? I'd rather stay with stable than fiddling for month. You see - reconneting 10~15 times while pkg_add -ui updates my installed packages is a major annoyance, but actually I am done on a slow hotel-WLAN within 3~4 hours. It can be achieved if there is s.th. interesting on TV. At home with a modest fast line I am done within 30 minutes or so and my system runs with the latest current-amd64. What bothers me most is that I just can't figure out _why_ the connection gets lost...
