You don't need to build from source - just grab a binary snapshot from a nearby FTP or HTTP server, rather than using the 4.1 release. eg: ftp://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/ You can install a snapshot as you would normally install a release. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- => Joel Sing | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 0419 577 603 <= ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time." - Terry Pratchett, Hogfather
