I'd copy the sysupgrade script from a 7.7 or 7.8 machine and run that -R 7.8 (skipping interim releases). Base should be happy with that, and there's a fairly good chance pkg_add -u will be ok too, but if not it should be fixable by pkg_delete'ing anything it has a problem with, then pkg_add -u again, then reinstalling. Check 'df -h /usr' first, I'd want at least 500MB free, preferably more. Alternatively use a mirror with more old versions available and go from version to version, you're more likely to have to clean old files from /usr if you do it that way though. -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
