Hi all, I'm interested in the "clean install" upgrade method. By this I mean when a new version of FreeBSD comes out, you 1. copy all your data and configuration files from the machine you want to upgrade to another machine on the network 2. do clean install deleting everything on the machine being upgraded 3. move the data and configuration files back over to the original machine with the newly upgraded OS I know some of you do this and I really want to adopt one of these methods. I remember someone on the list mentioning they do this using CVS in some sort of semi-automated fashion. I would very appreciative if this person(s) could supply me details or a link on accomplishing this. Thanks in advance.. --------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW to mBox, receive faxes to any email address!
