Certainly, that's been the case with Linux, AIX, and so on over the years. But I have had essentially no problems doing in-place major rev updates with FreeBSD thus far. The only breakage I am worried about now is whether the new compiler change breaks things that used to work just fine. For example, will my make.conf settings be properly observed by the new tool chain? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
