If you want to go from 4.11 to 5.4, you may be better off taking the drive= =20 and doing a binary upgrade, as anything that may go wrong may require you= =20 to be at the console. I recently cvsup'd a server from 4.11 to 5.4 and it= =20 went ok, but I did need to access the console during the process. If you end up doing the upgrade to 5.4, you may as well go to 6.0 while you= =20 are at it. -Derek At 08:25 AM 4/23/2006, Andreas Wideroe Andersen wrote: >Hi all, >I have a 4.7 STABLE (production) server and I need to upgrade it to=20 >atleast 4.11 STABLE.
