Richard, If you have broadband, install cvsup, read the man page on that, and install new sources over FTP via cvsup. Once you have a correct supfile, it's pretty brainless. Most of us have some upgrading done via cron on a regular basis, completely unattended. HTH -- Eric F Crist AdTech Integrated Systems, Inc (612) 998-3588
