And we come to the wonderful conclusion that it will work if you `do the proper things'. I've seen a few different definitions of `proper' in this thread. Some of them actually work, too. But we're arguing that `my way to skin cats is better than your way' folk :/ Yes, FreeBSD can be updated. Yes, instructions on CVSup upgrades can be found in many places. But they can also be found at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ and that is the way to go :) -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
