I guess that is why no one has replied. I have a remote server for my websites and PostgreSQL databases for my business. I used the http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade51.html#upgrade: Upgrading without install kernel (modified to -current files) This is NOT the recommended process. Use the install kernel method if at all possible! I have successfully used this method (for -current, never release) several times I hadn't built Java addon for firefox35 recently because I always run -current or close to it. I built Java, but I cannot get any (including a slightly older version) firefox35 to work. I cannot achieve anything without IP access with Java. If this is a hardware failure, I will ask for a replacement of whatever it is that is broken. If this is my fault, I can re-install or re-upgrade remotely, but I do not have access to the interface I need until Wed. Chris Bennett
