And that when i have re-installed, that they work immediatilly ?? fwiw you can simply do: cd /var/db mv mysql mysql.bak (uninstall/reinstall w/e mysql) rm -fr /var/db/mysql mv /var/db/mysql.bak /var/db/mysql
afaik using something as complicated as tar to archive the dbs first isn't necessary - mv retains the permission settings fine. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
