Date: 18 Nov 1995 21:03:59 GMT Organization: University of California, Irvine Lines: 8 Message-ID: <48lhnv$gn4@news.service.uci.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: medusa.acs.uci.edu I've read the FAQ's, but haven't been able to figure out how to upgrade my 2.0.5 system to 2.1. Specifically, can I run some sort of installer from within my currently running system, (as opposed to using the FreeBSD boot/install floppy, the latest versionof which causes my machine to reboot ten seconds into the boot process)? Ideally, I'd like to run the installer and install on a separate hard disk via FTP ot NFS. -sam
