Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to ask your recommendations upgrading 3.x hosts with 32 MB root parititions that are more than 70% full, to 4.x. 4.x uses more than 27 MB. I have had a lot of trouble trying to use /stand/sysinstall UPGRADE because the root file system fills up while the bin distribution is being copied and unpacked. Often the machins I upgrade are standalone or have no means of backup. In any case, I would rather do a fresh install if that were the only way of getting back data. Thank you, Yours sincerely.
