Acutally, when I asked the question, I was doing a few things at once and never even finished it... In the past I've moved my data from 2.2.x systems to 3.x boxes, I had problems with my binaries, as well as my apache password files made with htpasswd not matching up.. One of the password files has gotten quite large over time, and I don't have the passwords in plain text to convert.. Any suggestions there MIke At 05:40 PM 7/19/00 -0700, you wrote: > >What is the best way to upgrade a server from 2.2.6-RELEASE to 4.0-STABLE? > >It has a SCSI hdd, and I've read that the drive names go from sd to da > >after the 2's..
