For a 4.x to 6.x upgrade, your most effective route is generally to backup your important files and data, and then nuke and repave your server -- ie. just do a clean install of 6.2 overwriting the old system -- then use csup(1)[*] to grab the latest RELENG_6 source and buildworld in the usual way. Given the price of hard drives nowadays, you could just buy yourself a new one and install 6.2 on that -- gives you an easy back-out route to 4.11 if it all goes horribly wrong... Cheers, Matthew [*] That's a replacement for cvsup, written in C and part of the base system in 6.x. - -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG4FKT8Mjk52CukIwRCG13AJ497ojrbx3YjEwxdEuwMPLdTq5qQACfePJe Fk7yhPEEH737PnSQG0MoYtw= =C70E -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
