I am running FreeBSD 2.2.2 with the PAO kernel and its all happy.
Recently however the PAO version of 2.2.5 has been released. So heres my
list of questions

1) Would I gain by upgrading a laptop whos sole purpose in life is
security scans and testing sendmail from 2.2.2 to 2.2.5 ?

2) How do you you upgrade from one version to the next? Do you have to
overwrite using /stand/sysinstall and then merge all of the /etc and
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 config files yourself.

3) I tried booting off the new 2.2.5 (the 13/12 version) PAO boot
floppy, it got to the probing the PCMCIA card controller, then had an
error stating the / was full and crashed (This is odd as the 2.2.2
version had no trouble at all). I have a Toshiba T2200CS 80486 with20Mb
of RAM

Getting off the upgrade to my current installation:

I have a hayes accura 336 fax - modem PCMCIA card. I tried valiantly to
get the syntax to configure this card correctly in /etc/pccard.conf
using the sio driver (quite obviously failing) I do not understand the
flags and syntax of the modem configuration can anyone help me? (Getting
my network card working was easy compared to the modem)
