X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2008 19:23:45 -0000 How risky is it to jump directly to 7.0 on a 5.5 system? Upgrade would be by cvsup. I expect mergemaster issues anyway but this system is relatively vanilla in it's configuration. It's duty is just rsyncing other servers. The kernel is GENERIC minus drivers plus ipfw and there are no kldloads. Can this jump be made? I was hoping to avoid having to make two major release jumps by doing only one. Thanks
