Hi folks. Need help in doing the following, but first want to check and see if it is feasible with the latest Release, or if I'm just going to be spinning my wheels on this one. The Objective. ============== I have a FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE system which I want to upgrade to 7.X from the source level. Had a bunch of problems installing 7.1-RELEASE from the CD distribution I got from freebsdmall.com. Several problems that could not mount the CD at the time of installation causing sysinstall to halt. So, 4.9 is installed and working, is there a source level backward compatibility issue between 7.x and anything older than 6.0 ? In other words, upgrading from the sources with such an old distribution is a doable task ? Your response is greatly appreciated. Many thanks. --Rom a_romolo at hotmail (dot) com _________________________________________________________________ Ready for Fall shows?
