Quite a while ago I installed FreeBSD 8.0 on a (66GB) partition of my Dell notebook. It served its purpose but recently I wanted to use it to dump some stuff to a SD card and I found that 8.0 didn't detect the SD card (mmc ?). Anyway, I thaought it could be time for an upgrade anyway and now I'm a bit hesitant to install FreeBSD 10.0 right from the USB-stick (which I booted). The installer found ad0 as the disk to install and when I watched the disk layout it showed ad0s3 as a BSD partition with ad0s3a as root and ad0s3b as swap IIRC. What would happen, if I commit the install? Can I do better an upgrade? I would like to preserve my WLAN, IP and other settings. Any advice here? Thanks. -- Christoph
