In the meantime, here are a few other questions that are not entirely obvious to me: 1. The system currently runs x86 FreeBSD 6.0. In the process of switching to AMD64 6.1, will I need to recompile everything (apache/etc) or will this work okay with x86 32-bit binaries? 2. Are there any changes to the filesystem structure or can this switch be done "in place" without reformatting the filesystems? Sorry if these questions seem pedantic, I've never done a move from x86 to amd64. - Greg
