You're right, you did miss it. Check out the Early Adopter's Guide (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.0R/early-adopter.html) and read UPDATING. They specifically mention the larger amount of space required, and I presume that I don't need to explain UPDATING to you since you're going to 5.0 (since you should know to read it anyway). This sort of thing is why they suggest 5.0 for 'advanced' users. Though I'm nowhere near an 'advanced' user, I had no problem setting it up, besides having to rebuild all of my ports because of a gettext issue (though I was going to rebuild them with my shiny new compiler anyway, so that's really moot). Read UPDATING, make sure to remove your old Perl, etc. --=-82whj3ooiOGzxTu0boWJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA+nVN4UdqurN0fljsRAsq7AJwL9+wwziBsl3egD013I6oJZenKxwCgzRfz Bh6tiiYfOuijuGG0NqM4+TI= =u0hb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-82whj3ooiOGzxTu0boWJ--
