updating from 12/25/1999 -current?
Greetings everyone: Will I run into any problems doing a make world from a 12/25/1999 version of -CURRENT to the latest -current? I noticed on -RELEASE machines when I went from 3.3-R to 4.1-R, I had problems because the loaded kernel doesn't have the modules and I had to use the Generic kernel in 4.1R and reboot the machine. Any suggestions? Thanks. HT __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

I know a binary upgrade would work but it would mess up the /etc directory which I plan to update manually... HT __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
