Hi all,
After failing to upgrade to 6.2 , I'm taking a members advice and
going to
buildworld-
I have two questions-
How long will it take-
And do I need to stop the other programs from running -
The reason I ask is because I use the bsd box as a mail filter
Running Exim SA and ClamAv so I need to know how long it would take
if I have
to take it off line-
My box is a PIII 500mhz with 512 ram

Jean-Paul,
You don't need to take the box offline, although it may slow things
down a tad bit. You're probably looking at an overnight event for
the buildworld. Make sure you buildkernel as well.
Alternatively, you *could* buildworld/kernel on a second box, NFS
mount the /usr/src and /usr/obj directories and installworld/kernel
from there. We have ~30 similar FreeBSD systems and one build box.
Kinda helps us stay consistent, etc.
