I see that I can do a binary upgrade off the cd's, but I'm more curious about the source upgrade procedure. Does it do a through job (i.e. does it remove older non-existent binaries when upgrading)? Or should I only upgrade like that once or twice and do a fresh install after like the 3rd time? Also, is it a good idea to have one server that has CVSup running on the src and ports dir and then have all the other servers nfs mount those directories and do all the upgrades off of the one machines src and port dirs? Thanks in advance. -Mike
