I want to downgrade a 4.9-STABLE box to a 4.8-RELEASE box to sort out this MySQL problem that I have. Are there any known pitfalls that I should be aware of before I do this downgrade? I think rcNG was imported on some stage? Will this have any effect on the 4.8 branch? I just want to make sure that this is a (semi) smooth process as I do not have physical access to that machine over weekends and I *really* do not want to go to work early Monday morning. ;) Input will be greatly appreciated. ;) Thank you. ---jaco
