Right now, I am running 2.1.5 RELEASE. I would like to upgrade to 2.2...I have searched through the handbook and can't determine whether I should use CTM or CVSup to get what I need (I'm not interested in upgrading ports right now - everything else, though). The description of CTM made it sound like it could only be used for getting the latest current release...I guess I'm a little confused as to the status of 2.2...thought 3.0 was current. At any rate, I would appreciate any suggestions. I'm only on a 33.6 dial up connection, so speed is important (especially since my @*#! provider tends to impose 4 hr time limits) thanks! -- =---------------------------------------------------------= John Szumowski - harpo (at) javanet (dot) com to reply, remove the "nospam" domain suffix =---------------------------------------------------------= http://www.javanet.com/~harpo
