Errata --------------------------------------------- * If you wish to update from 9.0 to RC2 you may do so by editing the "/usr/local/share/pcbsd/pc-updatemanager/conf/sysupdate.conf" file and changing the PATCHSET: variable to "pcbsdtest". After changing this variable, you may run the updater utility, to download a new update manager. Once this update manager is installed, the online update to the RC2 version will appear. Download --------------------------------------------- The DVD & USB images are available via the PC-BSD mirrors.

Great, and I really want to install it, but the GUI Installer doesn't let me: "Failed to install:System Update to 9.1-RC2 Failed to install update! Please check your network connection, or change mirror servers in the System Manager." Not too verbose, so I tried running "pc-updatemanager install release-9.1-RC2" Which shows the correct error message: "ERROR: Less than 2GB free on /usr, please clear some additional space to continue!" # df -h /usr Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/label/usr0 14G 11G 1.9G 86% /usr It would be helpful if the GUI would also show this error message. On a side note: When I right-click the Update Manager Icon in the tray the first entry is "Updatemanager wird gestartet." ("Starting Update Manager"). Is that a mis-translation? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
