AFAIR, at the end of May, Guido van Roj successfully updated one of his machines from 3.1 to 4.0-STABLE, albeit that required appropriate manual intervention -- ie compiling a number of things by hand. Afterwards, if I remember rightly, the stable upgrade path (3-S to 4.S) was generally considered as working (and supported as such). To be on the safe side, I would probably update in (at least) a couple of steps (e.g. 3.1 --> 3-S; 3-S --> 4-S). Unless one of those who have actually spotted the gotchas posts a solution to this list :-) Best of luck, Salvo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
