Re: trim src/UPDATING in RELENG_7?

Re: Switching from 32 to 64 bit with freebsd-update?
Kevin K wrote: I have a 64-bit system that had the 32-bit version of 6.3 installed on it. Is it possible to use freebsd-update (or another somewhat painless method) to switch the system to 64-bit? We're running into the 4GB memory limit. --Wade FreeBSD-update is used for updates to binary files for the current installed version of FreeBSD. Using sysinstall and do a binary upgrade should do the trick or doing the below. Just make sure you make a backup of everything b4 you start. I believe this is possible but you will come into a lot of trouble with statically linked libraries -- a much more reliable and secure would be to build a clean amd64 on a separate system and re-compile the needed software and move the files from i386 over after it has been tested. You should be able to do the above on the system in question provided you follow the handbook to the letter. After the installing of the new world and kernel, make sure you do a full recompile of all ports to be sure.

Re: PPP doesn't set the correct interface in 7-STABLE
Sorry I should add, in the second 'for' it should start with 0 if you're
not using the first interface for another vpn (ie openvpn) or connection
(ie dsl/dialup).

You might even find that people don't even know what a PR is or how to report it. Maybe a dialog during the install telling people about the PR system might be helpful.
