Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a server running FreeBSD 3.2 I would like to upgrade to 4.1 or 4.2 (I have the CD set for 4.1 at hand) Will using the /stand/sysinstall upgrade be fairly painless or should I plan to nuke the whole thing and start again? The shorter the "downtime" required the better. Any advice on such an upgrade would be much appreciated. Last time I migrated (2.2.5 -> 3.2) it was at the same time as I installed new server hardware so I simply installed the new OS in the new PC and re-created the user accounts. The server is primarily an intranet web/email server. :-) <>< ============================================================ ><> Michael Doyle email: relyod@co-operation-ireland.ie Network Administrator personal email: relyod@indigo.ie Co-operation Ireland http://www.co-operation-ireland.ie/ Phone: +353-1-661 0588 Fax: +353-1-661 8456 ********************************************************************* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
