Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Thanks for the responses re Netscape 4 and 2.1.7 or 2.2 being the oldest host OS .. I have done an awful lot of pestering others to get 2.0.5 doing X11R.., IIJPPP, wrappers, web stuff .. serving DNS (registered) IS there any path I can follow to upgrade this 2.0.5 as configured and NOT have to completely rebuild disks, above working applications. OR with a new SCSI, primary disk is there a way I can work my way into the newer version while still able to boot 2.0.5 .. .. e.g. some fairly senility-proof way ??? Thanks /Ev/
