Any help is appreciated.. There was quite a big leap from 2.2.x to 3.0 and another, although not quite as big, leap from 3.x to 4.0. I've heard one way is to upgrade to 3.5-STABLE, then upgrade again to 4.0-STABLE (soon to be 4.1). Rumour has it 2.2.x to 4.0 direct isn't feasible. Personally, I'd back up all my data, make note of all my server configs, and install 4.0 from scratch... --Dan -- Dan O'Connor On Matters of Most Grave Concern http://www.mostgraveconcern.com FreeBSD Cheat Sheets http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
