[-- Attachment #1 --] I want to upgrade FreeBSD 3.2 (which I have on CD-ROM) to FreeBSD 4.X. (which I don't have on CD-ROM). What steps do I have to take? I read the .TXT files in ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.1.1-RELEASE/ (or is it ftp://releng4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/4.2-20010102-STABLE/?). But what do I have to do first? Install the latest version of sysinstall? What packages do I have to download? Everything in the /bin directory? And then run install.sh? And then the same for /manpages? Is that all? See: lots and lots of questions :-). Is there an experienced user out there who can and want to help me? --ReST [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.50.4030.2400" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to upgrade FreeBSD 3.2 (which I have on CD-ROM) to FreeBSD 4.X.
