I know about the procedures details in that chapter, however, I'm recalling= the fact that at one point in time, there was a "migrating" link (http://w= ww.freebsd.org/old/releases/5.4R/migration-guide.html) on the old website t= hat included, if you will, *the way* to migrate from FreeBSD-4 to FreeBSD-5= - that included changes and extra steps as against what is mentioned in ch= apter 20 in the Handbook. Similarly (to me) in this scenario, in an upgrade from FreeBSD-5 to FreeBSD= -6, I wondered if any correspondingly different changes / extra steps are r= equired. My main reason for asking, is the fact that google searches on thi= s matter return differing procedures (with varying sequences and numbers of= steps) used by posters. If chapter 20 is the way, then fair enough, but I thought it a simple thing= to ask. Thanks again for taking the time.
