On Tue, Mar 11, 2003 at 08:40 , while denying his reply is spam, Patrik Forsberg prattled on endlessly saying: > > Hi, I currently have FBSD 3.3-TABLE and wanting to upgrade. > > I've searched for > > docs but could't find real helpful info. > > > > Is there anything I should be aware of (besides a good backup) before > > upgrading from 3.3 to 4.7?

In particular the building with -NOPERL and the mknod parts. The upgrade from 3.x to a 4.x works IF you follow the steps exactly. Once you get past 4.0 things are quite easy. I did the 3>4 and it took the longest of all because of the extra steps. Follow UPDATING EXACTLY.
