Depending on a lot of factors, some may be more feasible than others. While the machines for which I do something similar run stable (at present, stable/11), I believe that the approach I use, and which is described at <http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/upgrade.html>; may (at least) be a useful case study. There is also a log (of sorts) of the successful updates at <http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD/history/>. Note that I explicitly avoid optimizations that would not work for all of the machines in question. That's probably obvious, but.... :-) As Cy Schubert pointed out, paths need to be set up to look identical; setting that up initially may be a little more "interesting" than one might prefer, but in my experience, once that's done, things Just Work (at least, using the approach I use). I'll skip trying to mention other approaches, as I don't actually use them. Peace, david --=20 David H.
