I know about the procedures details in that chapter, however, I'm recalling=
the fact that at one point in time, there was a "migrating" link (http://w=
ww.freebsd.org/old/releases/5.4R/migration-guide.html) on the old website t=
hat included, if you will, *the way* to migrate from FreeBSD-4 to FreeBSD-5=
- that included changes and extra steps as against what is mentioned in ch=
apter 20 in the Handbook.
Similarly (to me) in this scenario, in an upgrade from FreeBSD-5 to FreeBSD=
-6, I wondered if any correspondingly different changes / extra steps are r=
equired. My main reason for asking, is the fact that google searches on thi=
s matter return differing procedures (with varying sequences and numbers of=
steps) used by posters.
If chapter 20 is the way, then fair enough, but I thought it a simple thing=
to ask.
Thanks again for taking the time.
Regards,
Stacey
