School year is over, finally no students are dependant on my 1.1.5 system, and it is time to upgrade. I'm sure this has been answered, but I haven't been able to find it. I plan to back up everything of course, but is there any way to preserve /usr/local/src and /usr/users during the upgrade process? Or should I just bite the bullet, tar them over to another machine, and then untar them when I am done? What stuff in /etc am I gonna forget to save? What stuff elsewhere am I gonna forget to save? Do I correctly assume that it is useless to save the authorization file and I will need to addusers everyone all over again? Do I correctly assume that I will need to rebuild all my current applications? Sorry to be asking "obvious" questions. If you point me to the proper FAQ I'll happily rtfm, but so far I haven't found it. Paul PS. Using FreeBSD remains a joy and a delight. Thank you all for the time and energy you contribute to it.
