Is there any better way to 'update' FreeBSD instead of completely installing a new system when a snapshot comes out? This will be important when Release 2.1 comes out and 2.0 users want to upgrade right? Right now I use the installation boot disk and use the fixit mode to install new snapshots on my existing system. This of course wipes out much of my configuration files. I know I can do a make world after installing just the src distribution, but of course that takes forever. The first method also causes down time too. Any better ways for now? Terry
