OK I got the bad news, now I finally have to bite the bullet. It appears I have to reinstall the OS from scratch. Unfortunately I don't currently have the means to easily dump/restore my existing file system and I will need some additional hardware upgrading. I'm not an experienced sys admin (this home system was configured by someone else several years ago.) So I am looking for a FreeBSD consultant in the SF Bay Area for a few hours consultation to help smooth this transition and reconfiguration. I'd like someone who has experience with Linux installation and Linux/FreeBSD compatibility as well (no flames please!) I am in North Oakland. Anyone local interested in consulting? Or any recommendations on a consultant? -Peter Kreps From: Doug White <dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu> > On Mon, 2 Mar 1998, Peter Kreps wrote: > >> Forgive the simple question, but I am running a 2.0-RELEASE >> system that was configured a couple of years ago. >> >> I would like to upgrade to 2.2.5 (primarily so I can run the Java >> JDK1.1.5). >> >> I have a hard disk full of stuff which I want to preserve. >> >> Is it safe to use the upgrade option on the install boot floppy? >> Are there file-system compatibility issues? > > For 2.0.0, probably not; there were major changes between 2.0.0 and 2.0.5. > You're probably better reinstall. > > Doug White | University of Oregon > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
