There are a couple ways. 1. Backup your data and reinstall 4.2 release then cvsup to 4.2-stable and do the recommended upgrade cycle as in the handbook at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cutting-edge.html (especially chapter 4), and /usr/src/UPDAATING 2. Install a snapshot. For that see http://www.freebsd.org/releases/snapshots.html I don't actually know how to install one. 3. Upgrade completely by source. If you're going to do that, a lot of people reccommend cvsupping and upgrading to 3.5-stable then to 4.2-stable. That way you get the most current in each branch and it is least painful. Either way, pay attention to /usr/src/UPDAATING Tim On Thu, 18 Jan 2001, Stephan Weaver wrote: > Hello, > Is there another way to upgrade from 3.3-R to 4.2-S ? > Please CC me because i am not on the list. > Thank you alot! > stephan > _________________________________________________________________________ > Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
