Not really a bed of roses. Its a thorny road. You will stumble with packages then gcc version then make.conf then cvsup itself. Cannot really remember exact thorny issues but I can tell that it is not straight path. Rather Install 7.0 directly then migrate the data. -- Aftab Jahan Subedar CEO/Software Engineer Subedar Technologies Ltd Subedar Baag Bibir Bagicha #1 North Jatra Bari Dhaka 1204 Bangladesh 88027554546 8801552635208 8801191336608 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
