Hello,
Wonder if you can give me a little advise.
[..snip..]
I am going to try this tomorrow morning and wondered if you might have some
good advise.
I do have a copy of BSD 4.5 and 5.o from a FreeBSD Unleashed book by Michael
Urban and Brian Tieman. I also have the absolute BSD by Michael Lucas.
Well, it's hard to say what the right path would be for you. I think if
it were me, and I had tarred up all the files, I would install the most
recent FreeBSD version I can (5.4 in this case), install all the
necessary ports (/usr/ports/*), and then copy the data back from the
'backup' drive (you created when you did all the tars) onto the newly
installed system in the right places.
If you are totally new to FreeBSD, the Handbook is your best friend:
