>Description:
As a penance for wasting a few folk's time with some of my recent SNAFU's
when upgrading 2.1.5 to 2.1.7 (Hi Jordan), I've written up a document
describing (hopefully accurately) the steps that need to be gone
through when re-making the world, and the precise meaning of the phrase
"You must merge in /etc by hand"
that gets bandied about every now and then.
I've placed this in
<URL:ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/FBSD_UPGRADE>;
and would welcome feedback from anyone who knows more about this subject
than I do.
At the moment, the document is plain text (I don't know LinuxDoc, would
prefer not to (I'd rather spend the time learning DocBook, but don't
know of a handy tutorial -- references appreciated)).
I'm kind of hoping that with a bit of peer review it can become a
candidate for the tutorials page, and ultimately spawn a new section
of the handbook.
As I say, feedback welcomed. Hope it's useful.
