With all of the activity of installation, upgrades et-al on this list, I've forwarded my own message from -questions over to here. As much as I hate to cross-post, I realized right away that -stable would be better just after I sent it this afternoon. -questions not cc'd. One more thing: # sed s/7.0/RELENG_7/g -------- Original Message -------- Hi all, I have minimal (base) system of 6.2 that I run entirely from thumb drive. It has nothing extra (man pages etc). This system needs to be upgraded to 7.0. Is there an easy way to upgrade this installation so that ONLY the information that is currently installed is upgraded? I don't want anything additional installed during the upgrade. I'm certain that by default a make buildworld/installworld will install too much. Will a binary upgrade 'do the right thing'? Steve
