Hello, My company has been asked to help with the upgrade of several Freebsd systems that are pretty old. The customer is running a file server samba also running apache running FBSD 4.2, he wants to upgrade using cvsup & the make buildworld procedure to upgrade to 5.x. Im very familier with the make buildworld procedure however there have been significant changes between 4.2 & 5.x so is this something that can be done without many problems ? Aside from reading throught the /usr/src/UPDATING file are there things i should look out for being that the 2 versions are so differrent. personally i would recommend going to the lastest stable release 4.10-p2 I welcome this lists thoughts & opions on this matter thank in advance for any help :-) -- Brent Bailey CCNA Bmyster LLC Computer Networking and Webhosting Network Engineer, Webmaster, President http://www.bmyster.com mrb@bmyster.com 207-247-8330
