If someone could mail me these > instructions, it would be much appreciated. I'd like to upgrade from > 2.2.1-RELEASE to 2.2.2-RELEASE without losing /etc, /var, and /usr. Download the 2.2.2 boot floppy, reboot, and use the upgrade procedure. That's it. (Well, I made it only 2.1.0-SNAP -> 2.1.0, -> 2.1.5 -> 2.2.1, but I think, nothing important is changed, only that in 2.2.2, instead of /etc/sysconfig, there is a new file (I think) /etc/rc.config, and you has to make an /etc/login.conf (man login.conf, or download it from ftp.freebsd.org).
