I have gotten custody of an old machine running the aforementioned, and it's in production. I can take it down for a couple of hours if necessary, but would prefer to have it down as little as possible. What are my options for getting it to a supported release - looking at the handbook it doesn't appear the the freebsd-update utility will work in this case, as it's not 6.3? Can I, for instance, boot from a CD of a supported version and do an upgrade, or am I stuck doing a download of sorce for 7.0-RELEASE, compiling that, and then an freebsd-update to 7.4? Thanks, Kurt
