From what I read in several notes, a bi- > nary upgrade using "sysinstall" sounds most interesting.

The binary upgrade of the system HAS TO BE done from floppy, and not from the running system. After installation/upgrade, you can use /stand/sysinstall to add software, change timezone, add diskspace, but not to upgrade the system. /Marino > Do you have any hints for me? > > Thanks in advance for your effort! > > Andreas Rozek > Rechenzentrum Universitaet Stuttgart ****** ** ** ***** > Kommunikationssysteme/BelWue-Entwicklung ** ** ** ** ** > Allmandring 3a ** ** ** ** ** > D-70550 Stuttgart ****** ** ** ***** > *** ** ** ** > Telefon: ++49 (711) 685-4514 ** ** ** ** ** > Telefax: ++49 (711) 678-8363 ** ** ***** ****** > E-Mail: Andreas.Rozek@RUS.Uni-Stuttgart.De > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
