where can i find simple instructions for upgrading to a new major version? im running 4.10 right now and want to change to 6.0--why not? heh--but the installation page in the handbook just talks about doing it from scratch. and the entire "upgrade' section of the 6.0 release notes just says "Source upgrades to FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE are only supported from FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE or later. Users of older systems wanting to upgrade 6.0-RELEASE will need to update to FreeBSD 5.3 or newer first, then to FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE. Important: Upgrading FreeBSD should, of course, only be attempted after backing up all data and configuration files." but doesnt say how to really do it. same with the 5.x release notes. im willing to do this in two step, from 4.10 to 5.4 and then to 6.0, if that is neccessary. my laptop doesnt have a CD drive of a floppy drive, so i want to do it over the network but i need simple instructions if someone can help. thank you! jen __________________________________ Yahoo!
