If it's not simply a faulty hardware, then it would be nice to get it fixed.

Index.txt is only needed if you're installing sets using HTTP from your own server - there's not need for it to be on any of the disk images. If you're doing that, then install??.iso isn't at all necessary - simply download the required files from the mirror and put them on your server. > > I'm still not following. *Which* files exactly do you have in mind? > > Forget it. Perhaps unpacking with something like "tar xzpf" is enough.

If you really want it, each upgrade guide includes a manual process[1]. Regards, Raf [0] http://www.openbsd.org/ddb.html [1] http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade58.html#upgrade
