I usually do it like this: - download bsd.rd and copy it to / - reboot and type 'boot bsd.rd' at the boot> prompt - select upgrade - select ftp as location for the file sets - select the file sets you need - reboot Because you go from 4.4-release to 4.4-stable, there's no need to fiddle with etc44.tgz. After the last reboot, it just works. Maurice
