You got it right. Just the regular upgrade procedure as documented in /usr/src/UPDATING. The gotcha is that you need to rebuild all ports. If you don't do that you can run in to trouble when you later build a port. I found that usually it is fastest to just take note of which ports you need, delete all existing ports, then after the upgrade reinstall the required ports. -- Pieter de Goeje _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
