I, not long ago, tried to upgrade from 3.3FreeBSD to 3.4FreeBSD; I put myself in a position such that I would have to do a complete reinstall, so I thought that I may as well upgrade. As a brief background, there is no other operating system on this computer and my original FBSD installation used the default file system layout; by the time I learned that a / filesystem of 40 meg is too small, I was getting overflow messages that I couldn't (with my level of experience) get rid of. Simply killing processes didn't work, hence the need to reinstall. I installed from the 3.4 CD set. The first time I installed, I created a 80 meg / file system (on a 4.2 gig disk), decided that even that might not take into account future upgrades, so... another install. This generated a 'signal 11' When I checked the log, I only found the rather useless message, 'signal 11, that's bad'. Sad to say, I've gone back to Linux (hopefully temporarily). Since there is no other OS on this system, I am at a loss. What's a signal 11? What went wrong? How can I proceed from here? Should I remake the 2 install disks? On a related subject, 3.4 to 4.0 is a big jump; Is the move to 4.0 worth it for essentially a single user? My major concern is stability; what is the current 'stable' version? My LAN has only 3 machines; I work back and forth between them.
