And this script fails on: --- david# sh ./freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf -r 7.0-RELEASE upgrade Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors found. Fetching public key from update1.FreeBSD.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. --- How to override this step ? Thanks.

This basically means "previously installed from the release media and only updated using freebsd update". If you previously did an update using cvsup to go from 6.3-RELEASE to some unknown point in 6.3-STABLE then you can just do another cvsup to go to 7.0 :) Kris
Congrats :)) I have been waiting it :>> p.s. yesteday csuped sources and rebuilded world, but my tag in supfile was RELENG_7 not 7_0 and now in dmesg i am stil getting FreeBSD 7 PRERELEASE is this a problem, and should i csup again and rebuild world again?

It started calling itself 7.0-RELEASE in the RELENG_7_0 branch 4 days ago. Kris

Quoting Ken Smith <kensmith@cse.Buffalo.EDU>: Hi !> On behalf of the FreeBSD Project thanks for your interest in FreeBSD. > We hope you enjoy the new release.I've just spent the whole morning installing it on my office desktop. It was an awful experience: installing packages from the three CDs kept making me switch from one CD to the other then to the previous one before the next one again... All in all about twenty-times !!! (sometimes just for ONE package, for Christ's sake !) It was particularly annoying, especially with those Linux guys around sneering when comparing it to their smooth install. I really think we should do something about it. Either group the packages with dependencies together on a same CD, or let the installer mark packages belonging to another CD as "dirty" and make it try to install them later in a second pass... I don't know... I guess a DVD release would more than help: all the packages would be on a single disc (plus, we might add some more). Then again, that wouldn't solve the problem of people needing to install it from CDs, though. (I'm aware scripts exist on the web to group iso's together and make a DVD, but I'm talking of a properly released one) I hadn't been aware of that until today, since at home I upgrade with the usual source compiling steps. But in my office there is no internet connection available for that kind of operations, so I had to recourse to the CDs... That didn't help me convince the GNU/Linux users (although some really were interested, because they enjoy our documentation...). But I especially find it regrettable that a minor annoyances such as these "spoil", in a way, all the good work that's done for the OS itself :-( Even more so when keeping in mind people coming from other OS backgrounds and wanting to use it as a desktop OS: more thant the appearance of the installer (which I keep thinking is definitely efficacious, however spartan) it is that problem with CD-toasting just to install packages that might prove a deterrent :-( That said, I'm all too willing to give a hand to people in charge with this issue. And yes, thank you all again *very much* for bringing 7.0 ! gregory

Hello, I tried to install FreeBSD-6.2/6.3/7.0 on Dell E520. When it get boot install CD, ask me language selection then panic. I mean keyboard, mouse no response, only can power off. Dell hasn't any serial port for debug. Only I use digital camera to capture screen. I tried to all boot options 1,2,3,4,5. When I try to boot using without ACPI and got general proctection fault. Please find attached screen. Regards, Balgaa
