Commands like ipfw(8) will not be in sync with the kernel. There is also the problem that the /etc/rc* files are for 3.x rather than 4.0, but this should not be _too_ much of a problem. That said, IIRC, I did manage to do a 3.x to 4.0 upgrade remotely. I was very careful about how I did it, and I had just upgraded some other boxes so the procedure was fresh in my mind at the time. -- Crist J.

I don't remember why. It might have been that the passwords did not work.

As long as the box isn't busy, it should be save in multi-user mode. I'd recomend disabling what ever major services it provides before rebooting just to be on the safe side, but even that is probably unnecessicary. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.

To update from 3.x to 4.0 stable [3] cd /usr/src [2] make buildworld cd sbin/mknod make install cd ../../sys/modules make install [1] reboot cd /usr/src cd gnu/usr.bin/texinfo/install-info make install cd ../../../.. make installworld [5] mergemaster [4] reboot I hate to keep asking you questions, but like.. I cant login to the machine in single-user mode.. it's a co-located box.. is there a way to get around the things you have to do in single-user mode?

upgrade 3.4 to 4.0
I'm thinking of upgrading now. I didn't before. I run 3.4-stable now. Can I just run the regular CVSUP to -stable and do all the fun make buildworld and installworld and all will be good? Or is there something special I have to do for 4.0? Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
