I'm needing to upgrade an old BSD box with 4.3 on it and a mandrake box with the newest mandrake so that I we can use them as test servers for some stuff. They're base installs and don't have all the cool extra stuff on them and I don't feel like reinstalling them and I'm too lazy to ftp out and grab stuff by hand. So does anyone know how to use the ports to upgrade this stuff? I need to add apache, Samba, DHCP, VPN, IpSec, SMTP and Pop3 for network mail (I know this is already on there by default but I'm going to be doing some wild stuff with it so I want to be sure I've got everything related to those two), and some other items, but I want to do it in the easiest way possible with the existing installs rather than reinstalling both boxes. Part of the reason I'm asking is if all goes right, I'm gonna have to do this on like another 200+ machines or so, so I'm sure you get the idea. :) Learn the easy way first on the test machines, then when it comes to the real thing, it will be easy. Thanks guys. You're always great help. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
