My 2.1-STABLE (as of late April) should probably be upgraded because trying to port tcl/tk caused the kernel to core dump. The options seem to be: a) using sup/make world for either 2.1.5 or 2.2-SNAP; b) getting the boot.flp for one of these and "upgrading" using ftp (faster, but I'm not sure what an "upgrade" does); c) buying the cdrom for either of these and upgrading. Is backing up /etc the only essential protection one needs? Is there any reason for 2.1.5 instead of the 2.2 June 12 SNAP? For example, will the various packages/ports from 2.1 continue to work? Thanks-- Annelise
