Hi: Those of you who know may find this funny, those who don't might end up with some clarity from this message. First, I have a good backup. I wanted to upgrade from 3.2 to 4.0 and read something about using sysinstall. I fired it up and slowly watched my commands (ls, more, etc) start failing. Then I read this: The most commonly made mistake in this regard is the use of an old copy of /stand/sysinstall from an existing installation to upgrade to a newer version of FreeBSD. This is NOT recommended. I think I did this. So, before restoring I figured I'd find out how to upgrade my sysinstall and run the upgrade. However, the release notes say don't do this, but they don't say what TO DO. I think I'm going to restore and upgrade with cvsup. Assistance with that would be helpful too. But, I think if sysinstall is an option the user should be told how to do it that way and not just the quote above. Thanks, Jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
