Date: Mon, 30 Oct 1995 11:59:20 -0500 Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Marc, Can't really answer your question (I use the CD-ROM version, will wait for the 2.1 release in December), but the comp.os.bsd.* newsgroups are in a searchable format at http://www.freebsd.org/; try keyword combos like "upgrade AND install*", you may find something. Generally, if you keep your /home and /usr/local on separate slices from everything else, and keep copies somewhere safe of configuration files that are in /etc and /var (and a few other places) -- the same probably applies to the X11R6 tree -- you can zap everything else and reinstall the new version from scratch; but I've never done that. ========================= Michel Joly de Lotbiniere mjdl@interlog.com =========================
