I had the same thoughts as you exactly, however, there is a better way. Seems like FreeBSD is more "modular" now, and IPfilter benefits from this as well. Unpack the src, make freebsd4, make minstall; Add ipf_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf. Make sure IPFILTER is no longer in the kernel. (or else it will load up twice). This seems to expedite the upgrade procedure significantly. -Carroll Kong To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
