I just did an upgrade the other day. Went rather smoothly. You should probably save a copy of /etc somewhere, but otherwise upgrade was the smoothest I have ever seen with FreeBSD (since 2.1.0R), thanks guys! If you're worried about disk space, nuke off your old /usr/src (if you have it). Just be sure to save your kernel config file somewhere. > > Please respond to the questions list and/or by private email.
