Any > suggestion is appreciated ! I just upgraded a VM from 9.1 to 10.0 by freebsd-update. I had to go in two stages, first to 9.2 and then to 10.0 going from 9.1 to 10.0 gave me an error. Once you get to 10.0 the first reboot is alarming, the userland has real trouble driving the kernel and the network doesn't start. It's OK though freebsd-update install and reboot and your ready to recompile all your ports or reinstall all your packages which you'll need to do before everything you had before works again. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith
