To be on the safe side, I would probably update in (at least) a couple o= f=20 steps (e.g. 3.1 --> 3-S; 3-S --> 4-S). Unless one of those who have=20 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
