Hello... I have a machine that I moved into a headless with no keyboard role and now I wish to update it to 11.3 from 11.2-RELEASE-p9. Since it's headless, and it seems that FreeBSD update works on a headless machine, I plan to use it as outlined in the handbook in chapter 23.2. First question: am I correct in understanding that FreeBSD update will work on an headless machine, as distinct from svnlite and a build from source? In section 23.2.3. Performing Major and Minor Version Upgrades, this appears: freebsd-update -r 9.1-RELEASE upgrade. On my desktop with a monitor and keyboard, I use snvlite; so when moving between major and minor upgrades, I use svnlite switch. Second question: is it the case that 'freebsd-update -r' is a substitute for 'snvlite switch'? Thanks for any replies, and best regards, Joe
