no ports are not base system. you may just do reinstall. if you fell a bit more advanced you may try the following: 1) replace kernel with generic from 7.0 2) reboot. it should work as there is backward compatibility. 3) unpack FreeBSD userland binaries from CD - by just entering every directory (like base, doc, etc...) and running install.sh 4) then upgrade manually /etc . maybe it could be done more automatic but i never did it that way - maybe someone else will help you. 5) install compat5x from ports unless you like to reinstall all ports. reboot On Sat, 21 Feb 2009, Mehul Ved wrote: > On Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 4:36 PM, Wojciech Puchar > <wojtek@wojtek.tensor.gdynia.pl> wrote: >> install FreeBSD 7 > > How do I upgrade to FreeBSD 7?
