Installation of Freebsd 5.4 release

[Surekha]

Hi Max Laier,

I tried do download the config utility as given by you.

But there is some firewall problem for us and Iam not able to login remotely
into that machine.

It would be a great help if you can send me the copy of the config source
code through mail so that I can compile my kernel here.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Surekha.

You can get config sources alone via anoncvs and do as the error message
tells 
you.  It will be easier to update to a clean 5.4 and work from there
however.

For the quick sollution you'd do something like:
$ cvs -d freebsdanoncvs at anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs co -rRELENG_5_4 \ 
src/usr.sbin/config
$ cd src/usr.sbin/config; make all install
