Hi Everybody , First I want to learn Which method are you using When you want to pass between version For example 3.x to 4.x or 4.x to 5.x . Are you installing new version to new machine then copy all files ?! My second question is ; in FreeBSD package management is very good . All ports are installed in /usr/local ... at this moment When I need to change server at this moment does it enough to copy all /usr/local directory to the new server ( of course all data , same kernel configuration on new machine and same /etc/rc.conf file .. ) Does it work ? Anybody have any experience about this ? And I wondering What do you do when boot problem like loader , kernel and kernel.old too ... How do you open OS ? Because in Linux We can create a disk with mkbootdisk command at this moment We have a same kernel and startup things in diskette ?!! Vahric
