I'm looking at what's involved in switching my 2.1.x (mostly 2.1.7's) systems over. Other than doing an "upgrade" install, are their other easier ways to upgrade? I noticed there isn't a FreeBSD-stable that I can sup from (something which I enjoyed with 2.1.x) but there *IS* a ctm tree. Would I be able to remove my current /usr/src tree and replace is with a ctm'd 2.2-RELEASE tree? Then recompile, make my kernels, and reboot under 2.2? If so, what should I be aware of? (For instance, major changes to /etc or /var trees) Thanks in advance for any recommendations you can offer. Also, please copy your replies to me personally, since I am not currently on the mailing list. Jaime Bozza Nucleus Communications, Inc.
