Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Ok, this has probably been asked and I missed it, but I couldn't find it by searching the mailing list archives. Does anyone have any suggestions for compiling the upgrade from 2.1-stable to 2.2-gamma? Is this such a pain that it's recommended not to do? Basically, I've cvsup'd RELENG_2_2. Now do I make world first, compile the new kernel first, sacrifice small animals above my machine first? Any suggestions on how to deal with changes in /etc so that I can make them without wiping out the information there I need to keep? Thanks, Gary Schrock root@eyelab.msu.edu
