Mergemaster is your friend. :-) (/usr/ports/sysutils/mergemaster) I've done the upgrade, by a "make upgrade" and a reinstall - neither of those went badly. Actually the 2nd make upgrade I tried barfed, but since I'd backed up /usr/home I just reinstalled and then un-tarballed /home. Just back up everything you might need and then try it - chances are it will go great. :-) Brett *********************************************************** Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu * brett@daemonnews.org * * http://www.daemonnews.org/ * *********************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
