Hi all
I've got a couple of FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE boxen on the network, and I
rather think I need to upgrade them (I'm thinking 5.2.1-RELEASE as the
target). Can I *safely* do this using cvsup/make buildworld/make
buildkernel/make installkernel/boot -s/make installworld? After taking a
backup, of course... I just can't see any mention of 5.0 -> 5.2 in
src/UPDATING, or the release notes, or anything like that.
Is such a course likely to cause any major breakages in installed ports
(specifically Apache, rt, mailman)? Trying to do this with minimal
disruption, since both servers are in production.
Thanks
Richard
