John, Sorry I think I sent this direct only.... this is being sent to list. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bryan Curl <bc3910@gmail.com> Date: May 9, 2006 11:20 AM Subject: Re: Upgrading to 6.1 (cvsup) To: john@cruzweb.net I found this tutorial very helpfull on my first upgrade. http://www.taosecurity.com/keeping_freebsd_applications_up-to-date.html But I must warn you that this process can take hours-days to complete after compiling the entire system from source code and installing, depending of course on how big your setup is and how fast your box is. On the other hand, a two hour download and a week of configuring can be jus= t as grueling. Your choice.
