Hi Garrett,

It should be ok to upgrade straight from 6.3-PRE to 7.0-PRE, right? I 
just need to change my src-supfile from RELENG_6 to RELENG_7 and 
build/install world/kernel as normal, right?


I /need/ that wpi driver... :)

Nervously,
Adam J Richardson

Conceptually frozen but there have been some fairly large changes
since then... but your correct from about mid-oct the large
changes almost always where just a matter of tuning or adding hw support.

Adam,
   I would consult archives (as of late) the list for the exact steps 
necessary to upgrade from 6.x to 7-PRE. It's a fairly painless process 
if done correctly, but it will take a while to complete, depending on 
what all you have installed on your laptop ports wise.

   Best of luck,
-Garrett
