| 1) CVSUP through all minor version numbers. | 2) Clean install through all major version numbers. You mean from CD? Or floppy? I never tried installing with floppies and a dialup connection because of (a) the time involved and (b) I didn't know how well this would work with a laptop and PCMCIA cards. | I'm a fan of cleaning everything out every year or so though, some people | differ, but this is the way I do it. :) I like that approach more and more. I can't see the advantage in NOT doing this, unless it's some mission-critical app that *absolutely* cannot be shut down. jm -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Jonathon McKitrick -- jcm@freebsd-uk.eu.org To Microsoft: "Your tyranny I was part of, is now cracking on every side.
