How'd it go? Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I just saw the announcement that 2.2.5 is shipping, so I hopped on over to Walnut Creek CD-ROM and ordered myself a copy. Before I go and upgrade my system, however, I'd like to get some feedback from people who did the 2.2.2->2.2.5 upgrade already. Basically I'd like to know how it went, what files (if any) were written over and had to be reconstructed, how much disk space do you have to leave free on your partitions (if this is necessary), etc. (I don't have a lot of free space on my /, /usr, and /var partitions, and need to know if I have to start clearing some stuff out beforehand.) Please respond to the questions list and/or by private email. Many thanks in advance! deliberately tried to muck around with as little of the "base system" (e.g. the stuff under /etc, /bin, /usr, etc.) as possible. I didn't even have to alter /etc/rc.local -- the new /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory is nice!!! - --- Donald Burr - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
