>Release: FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE i386
>Environment:
Upgrading 2.2.1 release system to 2.2.6
>Description:
Upgrade of a 2.2.x system clobbers the profile files
(~root/{.cshrc,.login,.profile} perhaps others)
>How-To-Repeat:
Customize ~/.cshrc, then upgrade
>Fix:
Save off ~/.root files which will clobbered and then restore
them. Or just rename ~root for the duration of the upgrade
and then put it backs, since this directory should not need
additional files.
