Does anyone have any recommendations or hints on doing this? I have a number of questions about this process: 1. Does it make sense to upgrade to 2.1-RELEASE before going to 2.1-STABLE? I presume this will be the big transition, since if I were to get 2.1-RELEASE running, I could install the -stable tree and make world. 2. I have machines which don't have the space for a source tree on their drives and machines that do. How easy would it be to upgrade the small ones by copying over files from the big ones? 3. Does anyone have any documentation on making this move? Thank you. bryan Bryan K. Ogawa Questions or Problems with NetVoyage? help@netvoyage.net Check out the NetVoyage HelpWeb at..
