Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello! I am currently running FreeBSD 2.1.5, and would like to upgrade to 3.1 without losing the tremendous amounts of data on my drive (backups are unfortunately not an option). I have seen several posts containing advice for accomplishing this task by altering sysinstall options, but this seems to only apply when upgrading from less distant version numbers. Is it even possible to upgrade to current from this ancient a version? Any help is appreciated!
