No, but the fact that you upgrade world+kernel in one go helps. FreeBSD also mantains a good level of back-compatibility. The 6x kernels have back compatibility options, and when you upgrade, the libraries from previous major releases are still usable by your packages. There are also compatibility ports if you want to install binaries built against previous versions. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
