Well done with FreeBSD 6.0
I just upgraded from FreeBSD-5.4 to FreeBSD-6.0 stable. It really went very smoothly. Well done to all concerned. A few things that could make it a little easier: 1. I have a habit of doing the mergemaster stuff in a slightly different order. Any chance of updating pwd_mkdb and cap_mkdb in FreeBSD-5.4 to the FreeBSD-6 version? 2. In UPDATING, remind people to switch off the nvidia_load stuff in /boot/loader.conf (and any other exernally created modules), before first rebooting to the new kernel.

I just upgraded from FreeBSD-5.4 to FreeBSD-6.0 stable. It really went very smoothly. Well done to all concerned. /me too I had a machine that was absolutely useless with 5.x -- dog slow, and suffered from random instablility (but no panics or other reportable phenomenon.) I ugpraded to 6.0-RC1 the other night and it was better than I would have imagined. I still have a lot of 4.x machines, and they will be skipping the 5.x experiment and moving right to 6.0. Kudos to all involved. -- Matt Emmerton ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I agree. I just finished a source upgrade from 5.4-stable to 6.0-stable (well, RELENG_6) on a ThinkPad T41 and everything went smooth. Well done! I can't wait to try out all the new stuff (functionality) that 6.0 gives us. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Well done with FreeBSD 6.0
Hi, All! I agree, I'd like to point out the sufficiently improved stability of ath network interfaces. It is like a rock now. However, the necessity to recompile the packages in order to accomodate for locale code change is a bit of a pain.

But anyway, use precompiled packages instead, that's what they're there for. Kris pgpB1JMVEPojg.pgp Description: PGP signature
