The system on my small HDD - ad3 is an 5.1-RELEASE-p11 (it was p10 at that time but that doesn't make any differnce). I've used sysinstall from a 5.1R CD-ROM. The rest of the work was done booting from ad3 - 5.1-RELEASE-p10. This includes fsck-ing and I am not aware of anythingthat will prevent a fsck from p10 to work on a 5.1R filesystem. I wanted to duplicate my working system cvsup and try 5.2BETA while keeping a working system on my small HDD - that's one ofthe reasons I wanted to put /home on it one partition. -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD user
