The easiest way would probably have to be cvs. I used the port cvsupit and it did everything and worked great. This is assuming you have internet connectivity. Another options would be do a cd upgrade. Or you could run /stand/sysinstall and do the upgrade that way. It lets you use a remote site...zip drive...cd-rom ..etc. JOHN To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
